[streaming] Re: MPEG4 Encapsulation

[Anurag Phadke]

MPEG2-TS is a 188byte packet that acts as an encapsulation layer for
*any* codec. When sending MPEG4 packets over MPEG2-TS you are
encapsulating mpeg4 data in mpeg2-ts, i.e. the mpeg4 data is made to
fit in 188byte packet. Depending on the size of MPEG4, it either gets
padded or fragmented. If u recall, the MTU is 1500 bytes, so for
streaming you can send a maximum of 7 MPEG2-TS packets for a single
send() call.
PS: look at mpeg2-ts as a wrapper for the data that you are streaming,
essentially you can even send WMV over MPEG2-TS.

When you are streaming using VLC, select the MPEG2-TS option and VLC
will do the rest.

Kindly correct me if I am wrong.
