Yes.  You could do this by changing lines 130-135 in 
"DynamicRTSPServer.cpp" from

     // Assumed to be a MPEG-1 or 2 Program Stream (audio+video) file:
     NEW_SMS("MPEG-1 or 2 Program Stream");
     MPEG1or2FileServerDemux* demux
       = MPEG1or2FileServerDemux::createNew(env, fileName, reuseSource);
     sms->addSubsession(demux->newVideoServerMediaSubsession());
     sms->addSubsession(demux->newAudioServerMediaSubsession());

to

     // Assumed to be a MPEG-1 or 2 Video Elementary Stream file:
     NEW_SMS("MPEG-1 or 2 Video Elementary Stream");
     sms->addSubsession(MPEG1or2VideoFileServerMediaSubsession
                ::createNew(env, fileName, reuseSource, False));

If you do this, your MPEG-1 or 2 Video Elementary Stream files must 
have the filename extension ".mpg", and you will no longer be able to 
stream MPEG Program Stream files.
