[Live-devel] Looking for proven mpg test media

When you say that VLC "doesn't understand" these files, I presume you mean that VLC can't play these files when you try to play them directly.  (VLC should be able to play the RTSP/RTP stream - using the "rtsp://" URL from the "LIVE555 Media Server".)  This is VLC's fault, not ours.  VLC does not understand many of the filename extensions that our Media Server understands.

However, you can try streaming one or more of the H.264 Elementary Stream files from
	http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/public/264/
These files should also be playable by VLC, if you rename them so that they have a ".h264" filename extension, rather than a ".264" filename extension.

You can also download and stream this Transport Stream file:
	http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/public/h264-in-mp2t/bipbop-gear1-all.ts
and that file should also be playable by VLC.
