[FFmpeg-user] ffmpeg read from UDP/Port

Hi Maziar,

I finally figured it out. Instead of using udp stream as input, I generated
a SDP file and use it as the input.
Prior to receiving the audio packets, I receive a SIP packet with SDP
payload. The SDP payload describes the IP/port of the video packet as well
as the format. I just created a SDP file with the content of the payload,
and FFmpeg was able to use it to receive and save the packets into a mpeg
file. (or play it)

Thank you for your help!
