I doubt.

The main problem here is the fact your h264 input is weird and sends the 
extradata in-band, one rtp packet per nal, all with the same timestamp 
as the following FU-A packet (I got that from the manual of the camera). 
That confuses the muxing layer a lot.

I hacked a bit libav rtpdec_h264 to lump everything together and that 
should solve this particular issue, then you'd need to glue that vlc in 
order to leverage the better muxing/udp output ^^;
