Correct.

Typically, a SPS is found in the same memory block which starts
with an AUD for an "I frame". From VDR's remux.c,
cRemux::ScanVideoPacket():

              if (!p[-2] && !p[-1]) { // found 0x000001
                 if (h264) {
                    int nal_unit_type = p[1] & 0x1F;
                    switch (nal_unit_type) {
                      case 9: { // access unit delimiter
                           int primary_pic_type = p[2] >> 5;
                           switch (primary_pic_type) {
                             case 0: // I
                             case 3: // SI
                             case 5: // I, SI
                                  PictureType = I_FRAME;
                                  break;

Doesn't the decoder support a callback function where it tells
you, the detected frame size? It'll really be a mess to do H.264
"decoding" in the demuxer.

Bye.
