It could, if your input is UDP packets.  However, it'd be far better 
to have your input source be just an unstructured byte stream (i.e., 
a device file, a pipe, or a TCP connection).  Then you could use 
"H263plusVideoStreamFramer".

If (and only if) your input is a byte stream.  If, instead, it's a 
sequence of discrete frames, then you would need a new class 
"H263plusVideoStreamDiscreteFramer" (which you would need to write) 
instead.
