quick & dirty hack to use new decoding API for viddec

Not meant as "fix" but as temporary workaround for people bothered by this
issue:

This quick & dirty hack replaces the deprecated call to avcodec_decode_video2
by calls to avcodec_send_packet and avcodec_receive_frame.

Note that this is hack is really ugly, because the API really isn't meant to be
used this way (the assumption is that each call to avcodec_send_packet will
produce at most one new frame) and also the error handling and probably other
cases are not handled correctly.

However, MP4 videos seem to play fine for me.
