Thanks; I just had a look at it. It seems that your parser is using the
same code as libavcodec/h264.c (and my one is similar to it, too ;-)

BTW, I have a question about it: isn't the NAL start code composed by 4
bytes: "0x00 0x00 0x00 0x01"? It looks like your code is searching for a
3-bytes start code?
