Re: frame-by-frame advancing

I figured, the ideal way would be to have one turn unit correspond to a
movie frame. For that, it seems, I need Movie.getNextInterestingTime(). But I'm doubtful of whether it will do what I want. Judging from the
description given in the docs, if I use the nextTimeSyncSample flag, that
will only find me key frames. But what about the intermediate frames
(B, P, I, or whatever else the underlying codec may use), how do I get to
those?

The preferred way is something like this:

myMovie.setTime(myMovie.getNextInterestingTime(nextTimeStep, new int[] { visualMediaCharacteristic }, curTime, 1.0F).time);


The second parameter means that it will only look for samples in the video tracks (and ignore audio samples). The use of nextTimeStep is preferred to the older nextTimeMediaSample flag because nextTimeStep works with MPEG media (as well as with ordinary multi-sampled media).

Good luck,
