[FFmpeg-devel] RTP/H264 encoding using FFMpeg libs

[Dominik Tomczak]

Hello

I try to use libavXXX libraries to do H264 encoding and RTP streaming. I'm
able to do it using FFMpeg itself but now I try to get it from src code to
write my own encoder/streamer. Below is what I do. It does not work, I can't
see VLC plays this stream. I think img convert from RGB->YUV works, H264
encoding too. The problem is with RTP muxing. I do not know how to write
code to use RTP muxer properly. Any hints are warmly welcome.

Thanks
