[vlc] Re: H263 over RTP

[chris.2.dobbs at bt.com]

Thanks for your reply Jean-Paul,
No, I have not used live555 although I am familiar with it. My code is
completely standalone atm and simply captures live YUV , compresses to
H263, creates an RTP packet to carry it using rfc2190.
Are you saying that VLC should able to handle rfc2190?
Regards,
-Chris

Did you compile against the live555 library too? VLC is not restricted
to rtp inside MPEG-TS. If you use the udp/rtp access module then yes. 
But using the live555 access_demuxer should allow for these kinds of rtp
streams.
