You don't need to know the format of the JPEG files for manipulating them. You may, for instance load (and manipulate) them using GDI+ (see, for instance "Rotating, Reflecting, and Skewing Images"[^]).

You are making an assumption about your image format, that it is YUV:8:2:2 stored by color planes. That might be correct or not. Let's assume you have checked that this is the format of your images for now.The big mistake you are making is that you try to copy the entire contents of one...

I didn't look at your code, but from what you describe I think I know the problem. You are probably decoding the keyframes correctly. The other frames are likely offset images that, when combined with the preceding frame, produce the result frame. Different formats have different strategies for...
