The frame dimensions are specified (perhaps implicitly; I'm not sure) in 
the H.263 video header (not the RTP header, the header that begins each 
H.263 video frame).

Remember that VLC is not the only RTSP/RTP client that you have 
available.  You also have "openRTSP".  You can use this to test your 
server  - in particular, to see what, if any, data you are actually 
receiving.  See <http://www.live.com/openRTSP/>
