I think the lesson at this point is to look for tools that can use a better API than VFW. DirectShow was announced in the 90's (as ActiveMedia and with a promised Mac version).

It was amazing how long it took to get computer media frameworks to support B-frames. QuickTime didn't get it until QT7, IIRC. And I am SO amazed that any apps still don't do DirectShow 20 years after it was released. I guess in-order frames linearly is an essential After Effects foundational assumption or something.
