 * LoadNextH263Object - service routine that reads a single frame from the input
 * file. It shall fill the input buffer with data up until - and including - the
 * next start code and shall report back both the number of bytes read and a
 * pointer to the next start code. The first call to this function shall only
 * yield a pointer with 0 data bytes and the last call to this function shall
 * only yield data bytes with a NULL pointer as the next header.
 *
 * TODO: This function only supports valid bit streams. Upon error, it fails
 * without the possibility to recover. A Better idea would be to skip frames
 * until a parsable frame is read from the file.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *      inputFileHandle - The handle of the input file
 *      frameBuffer - buffer where to place read data
 *      frameBufferSize - in/out parameter indicating the size of the buffer on
 *                          entry and the number of bytes copied to the buffer upon
 *                          return
 *      additionalBytesNeeded - indicates how many additional bytes are to be read
 *                          from the next frame's header (over the 3 bytes that
 *                          are already read).
 *                          NOTE: This number MUST be > 0
 *      ppNextHeader - output parameter that upon return points to the location
 *                     of the next frame's head in the buffer
 * Outputs:
 *      This function returns two pieces of information:
 *      1. The total number of bytes read.
 *      2. A Pointer to the header of the next frame. This pointer shall be NULL
 *      for the last frame read.
