I have search for source example on how to decode an MPEG4 streaming from a 
hardware video capture device. All I found is example from a file, witch does 
not help me a lot.

Here is a little description of my setup:

 *   Using Ubuntu 8.10
 *   A USB video capture device from Sensoray (2251) 
(http://www.sensoray.com/products/2251data.htm)
 *   An embedded PC from Versalogix 
(http://versalogic.com/products/ds.asp?productid=200)

Here is a little description on the data path:

 *   NTSC analog camera plug into the USB capture device
 *   Capture device hardware encode in MPEG4 (MPEG4 is a must to minimise HD 
capacity and data transfer)
 *   Encoded frame buffers are sent to the PC via USB.
 *   Frame buffer are appended into an .mpg file.
 *   No display is needed.
 *   Once done data is transfer to external path.

Even if no display is needed, some image processing need to be done in REAL 
TIME. Since I have access to the buffer itself, it's size and also it's type 
(I-frame, B-frame, P-frame), I could use ffmpeg to decode frames. So if 
somebody can help me to get started with that, I would really appreciate. If B 
and P frame are too complicated to decode, only decoding the I-Frame would be 
enough for my application. Only decoding I-frame will also minimise the latency 
of my low power CPU, so that's a good thing.

Thanks in advance

Yan
