Hi all,

I have searched for this issue in the archive but the question was not answered yet, so here I am.

I would like to know if Wireshark does support MP4 packets decoding. I am using version 1.0.0 in an Ubuntu Linux 2.6.24-17. I am also using VideoLAN VLC on the VOD server side and on the player client side. I have tried with originally mp4 encoded videos, on-the-fly decoded ones from MPEG-1 and with elementary video streams. They work perfectly (I can stream and watch the videos) but when I try to decode the UDP/RTP packets with Wireshark the payload is marked as unknown. With MPEG-1 it works properly as soon as I have tested.

So, has anyone succeed in decoding the RTP payload for a MP4 stream (if not with VLC, with which streaming software?)?


Thank you all,
Javi
