Don't forget to also set "fPresentationTime".

I can't help you with codec (or VLC) problems.  However, I suggest 
that you first use "openRTSP" with the "-m" option to receive each 
frame as a separate file.  If your server code is correct, then each 
such received file should be a single JPEG image, which you can try 
viewing with image viewing software.  That may help you debug your 
problem.
