[Live-devel] vobStreamer and VLC

That's correct.  RTP Payload Type 32 is for MPEG-1 or 2 video elementary 
streams.  There will also be an AC-3 audio stream, using the (dynamic) RTP 
Payload Type 96.

RTP Payload Type 33 is for streaming MPEG *Transport Streams*.  That is not 
how "vobStreamer" works.  (For starters, a ".vob" file is a Program Stream, 
not a Transport Stream.  Also, "vobStreamer" demultiplexes the Program 
Stream into separate audio and video elementary streams, rather than 
streaming the entire Program Stream as a single RTP stream.)

>What have I to do for running successfully vobStreamer and VLC

Using VLC, you should enter the "rtsp://" URL that "vobStreamer" prints out 
when it starts running.

Also, don't forget that "vobStreamer" uses multicast, so your server and 
client must be on the same multicast-enabled network.  If, instead, you 
wish to stream via unicast, then you can use the "testOnDemandRTSPServer" 
test program (using a source file called "test.vob").
