[Live-devel] RTSP/RTP streaming from camera

I'm writing an application to stream from a camera to a wowza server for 
re-broadcast. I have most of it working.

I have encoded video (x264) and audio (aac) frames -- I'm using ffmpeg's 
libav libraries for this -- and am successfully communicating with the 
wowza server using RTSP. I'm sending ANNOUNCE and SETUP requests and 
getting the expected responses (this part is easy -- it's a simple 
protocol).

Where I'm stuck is with RTP. I have the results from my RTSP SETUP 
request, and I have video and audio frames, now I need to establish the 
RTP session, create the streams, and send them to the server.

I see that the live555 code has classes like H264VideoRTPSource and 
DynamicRTSPServer and these look helpful. I'm just not seeing clearly 
where to start.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

//Bill
