You should also ask yourself if you really need your (H.264) video packaged within a MPEG Transport Stream.  If your receivers don’t really need a Transport Stream, then you could replace the last line with:
	H264VideoRTPSink
which will reduce overhead (both bandwidth and CPU), and, (like using the “MPEGTransportStreamAccumulator”) significantly reduce the number of network packets that get sent.
