Dear all,

I am trying to do some error concealment with FFMPEG in  C.
Here is exactly what I am doing:

I take a video file, decode it using the following FFMPEG code, and while
decoding, I want to randomly zero-out the data contained in some
packets(AVPacket objects)
(in the existing code, I simply zeroed the data in every five packets[search
"memset" in the attached code to see the lines of code where I do it]).

I try to extract the frames after this experiment, but it simply does
nothing when executing my file on a mpeg-2 sample file(which is expected,
since I've zeroed some packets)(I get all the frames when I comment out
those lines zeroing out some packets),

Now, I want to change the code for "avcodec_decode_video" function in a way
that it ignores the corrupted section, and starts decoding from the first
place that "makes sense".
The next step, is filling for the corrupted data from the previous frame,
which means "concealing" the error.

I wanted to know if any of you has done the same thing with FFMPEG, and if
anybody can give me some guidance where to make changes to avoid that
"Segmentation error".

By the way, since I've described the goal of my work, namely ocncealing an
error using the previous frame, I welcome any other approach you may suggest
me to do it using FFMPEG capabilities, even if it is totally different.


Thanks is in Advance.
