Sorry, my mail application defaults to the top post.  I'll have to
reconfigure that.  I solved my issues though:

Okay so I ended up using videosnarf.  Here are my steps:

#1  Download and install videosnarf from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ucsniff/files/videosnarf/videosnarf-0.63.tar.gz/download

   --  You may need to install libpcap-devel and libnet for this to build
and install.

#2  Capture the video stream with wireshark and make sure to filter out
only the RTP stream you want.

#3  Use videosnarf on the capture:  "videosnarf -i filename.pcap -c"

   --  This will generate an h.264 file.

#4  Run this file through ffmpeg.  Boom!
