[vlc] Re: RTP access

[Itsik Boger]

You are right that RTCP is not mandatory along with RTP data transfert, but 
some parameters like how to convert the timestamp carried in the RTP header 
into "play time" is necessary, unless VLC uses only the static payload type 
assignement (the one specified in RFC 1890).
I have also remarked that the streaming data is always carried over profile 
type 33 (MP2T encoding), where can I found the specification of this 
payload type?

As a general question, would it be possible to use Windows Media Player, 
RealOne or QuickTime to play a stream sent by a VLC streamer that uses the 
RTP access? If so what is the URL I sould specify in those players?

Thanks a lot
