Hi,
I am capturing packets off the network from a video conference HDX. The video is sent in RTP and is encoded in H264.
I am trying to capture these packets and generate a video file. I wrote raw H264 data from the packets to disk and i am trying to play it in VLC.
VLC just shows a green box.
Am i being too naive in my approach with data writing or should am I wrong in assuming that VLC should play this file?
Anyone have any experience in such things?
