[Live-devel] Would you please help me to pack the H.264-encoded video into RTP format?

Yes - however, some new software would need to be added 
first.  Specifically, you would need:
1/ A 'framer' filter that breaks up a H.264 video stream into 
discrete NALUs, and
2/ A "H264VideoRTPSink" class that streams a sequence of NALUs over 
RTP, using the payload format described in RFC3984.  (Note that we 
currently have a "H264VideoRTPSource", but not a "H264VideoRTPSink".)

Yes, probably.

Probably not, because - as I stated before - RTP is not a file 
format, and there's no one standard way of storing RTP packets in a file.
