If you're reading data from a camera, then yes, getting the frames is 
expected. The most common use of a camera is to take pictures or record a 
video, which requires post-processing and encoding, which is usually done on 
the CPU or in a combination of the CPU and the GPU.

However, if you're reading a video file, then no, you cannot expect to see the 
pixels. If you need to do that, you should find a generic, CPU-based library 
that can read those video files, like libvlc or ffmpeg. Qt is not your API.

And if you do that, please check with your legal department that it's ok to 
ship a product containing those codecs. They're often a patent minefield and 
many companies steer away from them, for good reason.
