I am trying to send video frames over a network.  Specifically, I am 
trying to write a program that will output a video stream that I can 
view using VLC / ffmpeg / ffplay.  I've tried to use UDP to no avail and 
RTP as per instructions listed at this site: 
http://libav-users.943685.n4.nabble.com/Sending-encoded-frames-over-the-network-via-RTP-td3308316.html

but I can't get my program to work (specifically, I am using av_free to 
deallocate memory allocated from url_close_dyn_buf but none of the 
memory is actually freed and I eventually run out of memory).

I would appreciate any detailed suggestions / guides for how to output 
video onto a network stream.  Thanks in advance.
