Implement your own "FramedSource" subclass to encapsulate your H.263 
encoder, and use this (instead of a "ByteStreamFileSource") to 
deliver H.263 video data into your "H263plusVideoStreamFramer" object.

For a model of how to do this, see the "DeviceSource" code.

(Once again, this is assuming that your CPU+encoder is powerful 
enough to generate H.263 frames in 'real time'.  If that's not true, 
then you're screwed no matter what :-)
