Route MPEG2 stream to Quicktime

I have a couple of hardware MPEG2 encoders that send send UDP or Multicast streams. I use VNC or AMINO STB to recieve these streams. I know how to relay these through VNC to another UDP destination, but what I really need is a way to view the relay with QuickTime. Since I can't get QT to view the stream straight from the encoder, I need need to find another way. The ideal solution is a SDP file that the QT player can launch. However I have yet to find a VLC transcode setting that QT can play.
Any ideas?

/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC udp://@239.100.100.117:7070 --sout '#transcode {vcodec="mp4v",vb="1024",scale="1",acodec="mp4a",ab="192",channels="2",deinterlace}:duplicate{dst=rtp{dst="239.100.100.118",ttl=15,port=7070,name=test,sdp=sap,sdp="file:///Users/test/Desktop/gerda.sdp"},dst=standard{mux=mp4,url=/Users/test/Desktop/test.mp4,access=file}}'
This will take the UDP stream, transcode to MP4 on Multicast and save the SDP file as well as a local mp4 movie file of the stream. You can remove the movie part....
The SDP file can then be used in Quicktime player, or put on a QTSS...
