Hi all,

I'm having problems with some CCTV cameras on a network thats out of my 
control. What I'm seeing is lots of error concealment going on, although as the 
I-frame interval is once per second there's plenty of full frames too. With the 
images I'm getting from the camera, I'd rather just have FFmpeg duplicate the 
last full, non-corrupt frame and pass that to the encoder instead of passing 
concealed data. Is this at all possible? Note that its not possible for me to 
switch from UDP to TCP due to various reasons...

I've been through all sorts of error concealment strategies and trawled the 
documentation (both the ffmpeg-all and doxygen docs) and I can't seem to see 
any reference to this sort of functionality. It appears that 
error_concealment.c just stores the last_pic and bases the error concealment 
guessing on that, but I don't want it to try and guess the errors if more than 
say, 5% is corrupt. Much better to have a still image for half a second than a 
complete wash like this: http://imgur.com/o5YttPY.png

If I'm pointed in the right direction for this (and its not currently do-able 
in master) then I'm happy to provide a patch, just need to be pointed in the 
right direction.

Thanks for your help.
Chris
