Although the MPEG Transport Stream was originally designed (I think) 
for MPEG-1 or 2 audio/video, if can now carry many other codecs as 
well, including MPEG-4 and H.264.

The RTP payload format for MPEG Transport Streams does not care about 
the contents of such streams, and therefore our software for 
streaming (sending/receiving) MPEG Transport Streams over RTP will 
continue to work, regardless of its contents.

The one exception is our server 'trick play' support.  That currently 
works only for MPEG Transport Streams that contain MPEG-1 or 2 video.
