It depends on how the video package was compiled, or rather, how the
underlying ffmpeg lib was built. If the codec you need wasn't included
you're SOL.

Apart from that, relating to your aims: I don't know if the video package
supports cutting individual frames at all.
Finally one could wonder if Matlab/Octave is the right tool for it. There
must be dozens of video packages around that can output filtered videos;
I've used avidemux for some filter tasks (though not quite what you need to
do).
