[FFmpeg-devel] RTP mark bit not passed to parse_packet

[Luca Abeni]

Hi Alexandre,

sorry for not replying to the previous emails: I've been offline for 
some time :)
Anyway, I see that you already solved most of the problems.

I do not know the H.263-related RFCs, but mpeg4 and H.264 allow encoding 
the video "global headers" in the SDP (in the "config" tag for mpeg4 or 
in the "sprop-parameters-set" tag for H.264). If H.263 allows something 
similar (you have to check the RFC) then this kind of out-of-band global 
headers should provide all the needed information to 
av_find_stream_info() (the SDP parser will have to put this information 
in the extradata field of the AVCodecContext).
