[Live-devel] H264 encoder

No.  "MPEG4VideoStreamDiscreteFramer" is for 'regular' MPEG-4 part 2 
video - not for H.264 (aka. "MPEG-4 part 10").

A separate "H264VideoStreamDiscreteFramer" class would need to be 
written to handle H.264.

Classes named "MPEG4Video" or "MPEG4ESVideo" apply to MPEG-4 part 2 
video.  Classes named "H264Video" apply to MPEG-4 part 10 video (aka. 
H.264, aka. AVC, I think).

No, "H264VideoRTPSource" is for receiving *incoming* H.264 video RTP 
packets.  There is currently no support in the library for sending 
*outgoing* H.264 video RTP packets.  When someone wants to pay for 
this to happen, it will happen.
