[Live-devel] Two questions

Yes, sort of.  However, the data that your "JPEGVideoSource" subclass 
returns (in your "doGetNextFrame()" implementation) will be the JPEG frame 
data that occurs *after the JPEG header*.  (This is because the JPEG header 
is not included in the RTP packet; instead, a special header - made up from 
the "type", "qFactor", "width" and "height" values - is used instead.)

Probably 1.

As noted above, the JPEG data that's included in JPEG/RTP packets does 
*not* include the standard JPEG header. (See RFC 2435.)
