<div>No. The "LIVE555 Streaming Media" software does not include any 'codec' (media encoding or decoding) software.<br>

<div style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 16px"> </div>
<div style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 16px">I encoded the data using FFMPEG, and then sent using Live555.The codec used is H.264, and the hence the sink class.</div>
<div style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 16px"> </div>
<div style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 16px">The problem is that VLC plays the stream , but the video is not visible i.e it is coming as black.</div>
<div style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 16px">Now the question is that , how does the VLC come to know about the size and format of the video being played, as it is not a video file with header information.Only the frames and encoded
and sent.</div>
