Hi all,
While receiving and playing back MPEG4 encoded streams using VLC, the 
first few frames happen to be green screen. The message window shows the 
following error
"ffmpeg warning: warning: first frame is no keyframe". The playback gets 
back to normal state on the arrival on next MPEG4 keyframe. I observed 
this with testMPEG4VideoStreamer.exe. and the issue is consistent with 
repeated runs.
Is it because client didn't get first few frames on MPEG4 stream? where 
do the frames gets dropped? how to avoid losing those few frames?
