If your input stream is H.264 video only (i.e., with no audio), then another solution would be to write your own "MediaSink" subclass (perhaps similar to the existing "H264VideoFileSink" class) that writes a sequence of raw (i.e., elementary stream) H.264 video files.  You should be able to easily ensure that each output file begins with a 'key frame'.  You could then, concurrently, process each of these output raw H.264 video files into '.mov'/'.mp4' files to feed into your Microsoft whatever (or just feed the raw H.264 files into your Microsoft whatever, if it can handle those).
