Wouldn't it be possible to seek to the keyframe before the wanted frame 
and then decompress but discard all frames inbetween? This can be quite 
slow, but it'd work.

This would also make my mencoder-based transcoding frontend a lot more 
useful. (It's designed for cutting out snippets from video files or 
DVDs. So far it's not very useful for files with keyframes only every 10 
seconds or so)
