What do you mean by "play super-fast"?  Do you mean that "openRTSP" 
writes the incoming stream to a file at a rate faster than 'real 
time'?  If that's true, then you don't have a live data source, and 
therefore you *must* set "fDurationInMicroseconds" for each frame.

That's correct.

If "openRTSP" is recording your stream properly, but VLC is not 
playing it properly, then you will need to ask about this on a VLC 
mailing list.
