To do this you'll need to implement a class hierarchy that could understand 
JPEG images on the server side to send them over the net and, on the client 
side, the right RTP Source to get them from the net. It is saying, as I've 
seen, this library has two hierarhies of classes: one for the server and 
related to Sinks, and one for the client and related to Sources. Look at 
classes like MPEG1or2VideoRTPSink and MPEG1or2VideoSource, the first is used 
by the server and the second is used by the client.

I've been working with this library several months to add some features like 
IPv6 and, although I don't know the whole library because I haven't had to 
modify the whole library, it seems that the throughput this software supports 
depends on the Sinks hierarchy of classes which are the responsible of 
injecting network traffic.

This traffic depends on the file, it is saying, it depends on whether you are 
sending mp3 music, mpeg audio/video and so on, I think.

So, taking a hard source of information like a .VOB file would be a good 
example of the capabilities the library has to inject traffic on the net.

But as my work with this liveMedia library is related to security and IP 
protocol support, I don't know much about the classes that decode media files 
for sending over the net.

We must also keep in mind that, in most cases, it will be UDP traffic, which 
will be under the restrictions of the net the library is working.

I hope this could be of some kind of help to you.
