Comment (by pbennett):

 Patch 004 - fix deprecated calls to avcodec_decode_video2

 Now that avcodec_decode_video2 is deprecated and replaced
 by 2 calls (receive frame and send packet), this could be optimized
 into separate routines or separate threads.
 Also now that it always consumes a whole buffer some code
 in the caller may be able to be optimized.

 avcodec_decode_video2 calls become
 * avcodec_receive_frame
 * avcodec_send_packet

 The code assumes that there is always space to add a new packet. This
 seems risky but has always worked. It should actually check if (ret ==
 AVERROR(EAGAIN)) and then keep the packet around and try it again after
 processing the frame received here.
