What is the purpouse of SkipVideoFrame() skip frame counter?

[9ine]

How can it be used? Does it allow to skip N frames while decopmressing video stream and extract e.g. every 10th frame?
There is no sufficient information in umc-manual.pdf.

Hi. The SkipVideoFrame() method with corresponding GetNumOfSkippedFrames() and ResetSkipCount() methods introduced for statistic needs and are not currently used. Moreover most of video decoders will returnUMC_ERR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED. The statistics may be used for example to change video decoding speed usingChangeVideoDecodingSpeed(Ipp32s &num);

TheChangeVideoDecodingSpeed method may be used skip the frames or change the decoder behaviour according to manual.

ChangeVideoDecodingSpeed

Changes video decoding speed.

Syntax

virtual UMC::Status ChangeVideoDecodingSpeed(Ipp32s &num);

Parameters

num Input/Output parameter. Reference to integer value indicating

changes to video decoding speed.

Description

The method relatively adjusts the decoding speed and the skipping algorithm.

The decoder supports different speeds of decoding. The slowest speed is 0, when the

decoder decodes everything, skipping nothing. The fastest speed is 7, when the decoder

processes key frames mostly, without any post processing. The owning application may

change decoding speed from 0 to 7 smoothly, choosing the most suitable speed.
