What format do you want to save in?
Current version of Ethtereal already supports handling and saving of RTP
streams in various forms:
Tools/Statistics/RTP Streams/Show All... lists you all RTP streams present
in the capture.
Now you either can...
* mark all packets belonging to a stream and save all marked packets (via
the normal Ethereal Save As... dialog)
or
* save the selected stream as rtpdump (saves plain RTP packets, without the
stuff from lower protocol layers, but with reception timestamps)
or
* Analyse the selected stream and save the RTP payload (currently only for
G.711 PCMA payload) as .au sound file.
or
* Analyse the selected stream and save most pertinent information in a .csv
file.

if that really doesnt suffice, look at the rtp_streams and rtp_anaylsis
files.
That's where it is all done.
