Description

  In my experimental verification, I/O overhead accounts for approximately 70-80% of the total time. Given this significant I/O overhead, I've considered using FFmpeg to decode the stream into a raw YUV420 byte stream and pipe it into a Python script to reduce I/O overhead. However, this would cause memory overflows due to the mismatch between the model speed and FFmpeg parsing speed. 
 I'd like to apply this model to real-world scenarios. Could you offer some new insights into addressing I/O issues?

Research direction

The issue mentions an FFmpeg-to-Python raw YUV420 pipeline and a model/decoder speed mismatch, but names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the stream-decoding and model-inference paths, then establish a maintainer-approved benchmark and memory limit; the issue does not yet define a concrete success condition.
