Hi,
I am trying to stream a h264 ES file:

./vlc -vvvv tiger-rx.264 rtp/ts:157.254.120.159:20000

Is there anything wrong with this format?

I get :
ffmpeg decoder warning: cannot decode one frame

I do not want to DECODE the frame. So why is this thing going to ffmpeg?
Can't VLC just chop up the NAL units into 188bytes and send it out (As a MPEG2TS)?
How do I do this?

The file is some proprietary profile, so ffmpeg will not be able to decode that.

Thanks,
Ashwin

./vlc -vvvv tiger-rx.264 --sout rtp/ts:157.254.120.159:20000

I can send h.264 video to a client, but when I can not receive anything at the client when I use:

vlc rtp://:

Please tell me what should I type the instructions at the client. Thank U

Correct me if I am wrong, vlc can NOT decode the h.264 video stream. You can only encode it.

Btw, if I have .avi file, what is the command to do h.264 video streaming using vlc ?

Thanks

VLC uses ffmpeg to decode h264. (not all kind of h264 streams can be decoded by ffmpeg)
