Ok, thanks.
I found a way to do what I want with a hack in video_output.c (see at the end of
the mail).
VLC displays frames at a minimum rate of about 5 frames per second, because of
the hardcoded "4" value.
It may be interesting to make this configurable. But it's just a thought, I
don't mind having this hack for my tests.
