[Libav-user] get RGB values from ffmpeg frame

[Navin]

Actually, Malik; the idea was not to use the ffmpeg.exe. I wanted the 
bitmap/RGB values to be stored in memory (a datastructure) in my program 
and then I'd pass the pointer of the datastructure to a client program 
which is running at the same time. The client program would then take 
the info from the datastructure and use it to display the video frame.
Thanks for the code you posted. Macros and datatypes like LT_SUCCESS, 
MAX_FR_SZ, metaD_t, LtHandle, ASF_IDX_SZ etc. seem new. Am a bit puzzled.
