[Live-devel] Starting Frames are corrupted

[Ross Finlayson]

Correction: 600 packets!

Please, everybody.  If you can't reconfigure your encoder to break up large I-frames into smaller 'slice' NAL units, then please put pressure on your encoder manufacturer to get them to make this possible.  They need to understand that excessively large NAL units are bad for (datagram) streaming.
