<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:black;mso-fareast-language:DE-AT">>In other words - you need to omit the 'length prefix' when you copy the NAL unit to *fTo. (Of course, you >will use this 'length

wrong with the live555. Is there any special start pattern? It looks like to me that ’67 42 C0 1F’ somehow it is but not sure. Also I’m not sure about the meaning of length prefix because NAL units seems to have that ‘02 09 10’ at the beginning so it looks
like it is not the size of the NAL..<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Therefore, regarding the size of the NAL I’m using the size provided in the callback function. I also did a test reducing the size the same amount of bytes I’m skipping at the front. But it doesn’t work neither. Any clue?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
