[Live-devel] How To codify the testH264videoStreamer Program in order to transmit NAL units?

Sorry for the long delay in responding to this.  (I've been traveling 
for the past two months, and am way behind on email.)

The easiest way to do this is to have make your encoder a separate 
application that outputs its NAL units (each prefixed with 
0x00000001, of course) to 'stdout', and then pipe it to 
"testH264VideoStreamer" (modified to read its input from "stdin" 
rather than from "test.264").

Alternatively (but more difficult), you could write your own 
"FramedSource" subclass that encapsulates your encoder, and modify 
the "testH264VideoStreamer" code to read from an instance of this 
class, rather than from a "ByteStreamFileSource" - as described in 
the FAQ.
