VLC supports the RFC 2429 and RFC 4629 payload formats (which are 
essentially the same; the only difference being that RFC 4629 defines 
some additional optional parameters).  More precisely, VLC supports 
the "video/H263-1998" and "video/H263-2000" MIME types.

Note that the RFC 2190 format is now obsolete, and no new 
implementations of H.263 RTP streaming should be using it.

(By the way, the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" software implements the 
*transmission* of H.263 RTP streams, as well as reception.  if all 
these people recently who have been trying to build H.263 streamers 
had just used the LIVE555 software, they would haved saved themselves 
lots of flailing around...)
