I second the webpage motion. <br>
<br>
In my own opinion, the biggest weakness in the live.com stuff is the documentation.
Any more webpages you could create would be very helpful. I spent probably
two days climbing through the code before I finally realized some of the
very basic aspects of the code, like a source and sink are created for both
the client and server, etc. If it would be helpful, I could even write up
a basic webpage that might help newcomers to the code.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello there,
you can also use any video, and encode it with
ffmpeg -i inputvideo -sameq -an test.m4v
This would generate you an MPEG4ES (Elementary Stream) which you can use
with the Servers. Please be aware, an mp4-file (with audio) will NOT work!
Best regards,
Michael Hess
PS: Ross: Can you create a webpage which explains, who to create an
mpeg4ES file ? This would be useful for many people, since I had the same
problem in the beginning :)

being opened by these players. The error message states that the

Please let me know the solution to this problem.

<pre wrap="">As Bryn Reeves notes, you probably won't be able to play this file
directly within most media players. However, that wasn't your original
question. You original question was: How to get a MPEG-4 video file
that you can *stream*, using the "testMPEG4VideoStreamer" or
"testOnDemandRTSPServer" test programs.
If you rename your file "test.m4v", you will be able to stream it using
either of these test programs - and then you will be able to play the
resulting stream using "vlc" player, or "QuickTime Player" (by opening
the appropriate "rtsp://" URL).
