If your input source (that you will feed into the 'framer' object) 
delivers single, complete MPEG-4 video frames (this is usually the 
case if the input source is an encoder), then you should use 
"MPEG4VideoStreamDiscreteFramer".

If, however, your input source is an unstructured byte stream (this 
is the case if the input source is a file, or 'stdin'), then you must 
use "MPEG4VideoStreamFramer", because - in that case - you will need 
to parse the input to extract the MPEG-4 frames.
