I'm not sure I understand you.
To get "framerate and video size", I use vlc's parseH264ConfigStr, that has
nothing to do with lavc, but if you prefer another solution, please explain.

AVCodecParserContext is needed to use h264:parser_parse(), if you prefer a
solution that is not using AVParser:

(Ross didn't exactly like it.)

Thanks for looking at it, please try to explain what I should change, Carl Eugen
