Because the suggestion requires N index based lookups and this is only fast with some conceivable implementations. for example consider an index stored in some sort of tree structure a index based lookup might be O(log n) while one step iterating over all elements could be O(1) AVIndexEntry *av_index_iterate(AVStream *st, AVIndexIterator **i); and AVIndexIterator *i = NULL; AVIndexEntry *entry; for (entry = av_index_iterate(st, &i); i; entry = av_index_iterate(st, &i)) ...
