[theora] Please help : Trying to fool Theora into doing what I want

[Sam Barham]

It plays normal movies just fine, and it works perfectly if I feed the
keyframe back in normally, its just way to slow.  As far as I can tell, the
build I have isn't doing any post-processing, and as I say, apart from the
artifacts it works fine.  Having said that I'm quite willing to believe that
either there is something completely different that I'm going to have to do,
or else that it just won't be possible.

Hmm. Does it work if you play the movies normally? Does it work if you 
feed it the compressed keyframe packet again? I'd have to look, but 
writing into the returned YUV structure won't necessarily work. There 
are post-processing steps after the point where you want to reconstruct 
from.
