Thank you for this link. I've made it to parse the decoder configuration  
record, extract SPS, PPS and some other things. I've tried to pass PPS and  
SPS to avcodec_decode_video2 but it still returns -1, prints "no frame!"  
and does not decode anything else. Prepending 0x00000001 before them or  
making AVCDCR as described here  
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3493742/problem-to-decode-h264-video-over-rtp-with-ffmpeg-libavcodec  
give the same result.
