I am sending the data the same way as I did when using http, I just 
changed the send()to a sendto() to send to a multicast address  instead 
of a 'normal' address. It is a while loop and whenever the encoder card 
has a packet it is immediatly sended. Which is 25 times a second. I can 
see this when adding a printout which prints the time each time send() 
is called.

Is there another free video player which supports udp multicast?
It would be useful to see if the trouble is on my side.

Thanks,
Guschti
