Hi,

I am capturing packets off the network from a video conference HDX. The video is sent in RTP and is encoded in H264.

I am trying to capture these packets and generate a video file. I wrote raw H264 data from the packets to disk and i am trying to play it in VLC.

VLC just shows a green box.

Am i being too naive in my approach with data writing or should am I wrong in assuming that VLC should play this file?

Anyone have any experience in such things?

The frame rate of my encoder is not exactly 30 FPS, it is variable. It varies from 15 FPS to 30 FPS on the fly. So, I cannot use any fixed timestamp. Could… >>> More
