[FFmpeg-user] Fastest way to get keyframe indices from MOV files?

[Stuart Bruce]

Indirectly related to my previous enquiry...

Programatically I want to use FFprobe get a list of the frame numbers
(numbers preferred, times if necessary) of keyframes (I frames without the
P frames) in a MOV file.

At present I'm using the arguments:

-select_streams v -show_frames "M:\ProcessTests\Timecode.mov" -of csv
-show_entries frame=pkt_pts_time,pict_type

but for this 30-minute video (available at
http://www.twentypenguins.co.uk/misc/ffpmeg_tests/Timecode.mov  ), that
process is taking around 20-30 seconds to provide the lengthy result of
approximately 45,000 CSV lines of frame info, which I then parse in my
Windows app to find the line indices of every frame with an 'I' at the end.

In principle, should there be a faster way to just get the keyframe / I
frame numbers (or times), which doesn't require FFprobe to output over 1500
lines of data per minute of video for parsing afterwards?

Thanks

Stuart
