you're right, but it won't skip skipped macroblocks...

for low/middle rate divx/h263/mpg there are lots of skipped macroblocks (not
updated at all by a frame) so don't copying them could mean less agp
waiting/writting so overall speedup. even if for whole frame copy it will be
a bit slower and harder to implement.
