We don't yet support streaming from a MJPEG file.  To support this, 
you would need to write a parser/framer - a subclass of 
"JPEGVideoSource" - that delivers JPEG frame data to a 
"JPEGVideoRTPSource".

However, JPEG is a very poor (inefficient) codec for video streaming. 
Other codecs - e.g., MPEG-4 - are much better.
