[vlc] Re: Does VLC handle H.263 video over RTP?

The problem with your stream is that it is using the now-obsolete 
"video/H263" media type defined in RFC 2190.  The "LIVE555 Streaming 
Media" library - and thus VLC - does not handle this obsolete RTP 
payload type.

However, we do handle the more up-to-date RTP payload formats 
"video/H263-1998" and "video/H263-2000", defined by RFC 2429 and RFC 
4629.  (These are essentially the same; the only difference being 
that RFC 4629 defines some additional optional parameters.)

If possible, you should update your stream to use H.263-1998 (also 
commonly called H.263+).  (If you do this, you should use a dynamic 
RTP payload code - i.e., not 34.)
