Hi,

I'm trying to transmux an H.264 movie in FLV container into raw H.264 in
Annex.B format:

     ffmpeg -i movie.flv -c:v copy -an -bsf:v h264_mp4toannexb movie.264

The original video seems problematic, so FFmpeg outputs several lines of
"co located POCs
unavailable" error. The error message is printed in
`h264_direct.c/ff_h264_direct_ref_list_init`,
which is further called by `h264dec.c/h264_decode_frame`. What confuses me
is why does the copy
codec still try to decode H.264 frames and even do motion vector
prediction? If I understand
correctly, FFmpeg can simply extract SPS/PPS from
AVCDecoderConfigurationRecord and copy slice data
verbatim. Besides that, I find `h264_decode_frame` is only called sparsely,
not as many as the
actual frame number.

Could any FFmpeg experts explain why this occurs?
FFmpeg opens the decoder to decode the codec config and populate stream parameters. Muxers, in general, read these parameters, to generate headers.
