>1)    "RTP, Audio and Video for the Internet", Colin Perkins, 2003, 
>ISBN: 0-672-32249-8
>2)   "Timecode A User's Guide" John Ratcliff (Paperback) Focal 
>Press, 1999 ISBN-10: 0240515390 ISBN-13: 978-0240515397
>3)    "MPEG Handbook", John Watkinson, (Hardcover) Focal Press (16 
>Aug 2001) ISBN-10: 0240516567  ISBN-13: 978-0240516561
>4)    "H.264 and MPEG-4 Video Compression Video Coding for 
>Next-Generation Multimedia", Iain Richardson, WileyBlackwell (17 Oct 
>2003) ISBN-10: 0470848375 ISBN-13: 978-0470848371

I haven't read any of these, but I'm sure that the first book is good 
(and very relevant to the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" software), 
because the author, Colin Perkins, was heavily involved with the 
development and standardization of RTP/RTCP.
