Hi!

I am running vlc 0.9.6 here as video on demand server that serves
"`Big Buck Bunny"' [0] via RTSP.
The streaming performs well and I can watch the streamed movie.

But the RTP data packets of the videostream have wrong timestamps.
Here is the tcpdump output:

<tcpdump>

     c96: H264/90000
     c97: mpeg4-generic/48000

        ^^^^^^^^^^
</tcpdump>
The sequence number is incremented (to 19075) but the timestamp has decreased
(to 1014202791) for payload type 96!
This only happens for the video stream.  The audio RTP packets are OK.

Is this bug located within VLC oder within the live555 RTP layer?

Thanks in advance,
Martin
