See http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#my-file-doesnt-work

We'll need to see an example of a file that doesn't work.


>What does "A MPEG-1 or 2 Program Stream file (with file name suffix 
>".mpg")" mean?

It means a MPEG-1 or 2 Program Stream file, whose file name ends with 
".mpg". :-)

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_stream


>  Is it just a mpg file?

Yes.
