Sorry, but neither “ffmpeg” nor “vclc” is our software, so we can’t help you with either of those.  We can help you only with our “LIVE555 Streaming Media” software.

However, if your goal is to read a H.264 video stream from a RTSP/RTP source, and convert this to a MPEG Transport Stream (without any decoding/re-encoding of the H.264 video), then you can do this using our ‘test programs’, without using any ‘3rd party’ software:

1/ Make sure that you have the latest version of the “LIVE555 Streaming Media” code; see:
	http://live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#latest-version

2/ Build the code, as described here:
	http://live555.com/liveMedia/

3/ Build the “openRTSP” RTSP client application; see
	http://live555.com/openRTSP/

4/ Run
	openRTSP 'rtsp://Camera_SERVER_ADRESS:PORT/HdSdiStreaming/2?videoCodecType=H.264'

This should give you a ‘raw’ H.264 video file (with a name starting with “VIDEO-“).  Rename this file to "in.264”.

5/ Run
	testH264VideoToTransportStream
 (“testH264VideoToTransportStream” is another of our demonstration applications; it is found (along with “openRTSP”) in the “testProgs” directory.)

This should give you a MPEG Transport Stream file, named “out.ts”.

6/ If you wish to stream this file (via IP multicast), then you can do so using the “testMPEG2TransportStreamer” application (also in “testProgs”).  (You will have to rename the file to “test.ts” first.)  You can also - if you wish - stream the Transport Stream file via RTSP, using our “LIVE555 Media Server” application:
