No.  Server developers never work directly with SDP; instead, our server 
software automatically generates SDP descriptions (in response to RTSP 
"DESCRIBE" commands).  Instead, all you need is the video source.


> (which is in h264)

If you have a H.264 Elementary Stream video file, then the easiest way to 
stream this is to rename it to have a ".264" filename suffix, and use the 
"LIVE555 Media Server" to stream it.

If, however, you have a H.264 Elementary Stream video file that you *don't* 
want to rename it to have a ".264" filename suffix, then you can still stream 
it, but not using the "LIVE555 Media Server".  Instead, you can build your own 
server - perhaps using the "testOnDemandRTSPServer" demo application as a 
model.  (See "testProgs/testOnDemandRTSPServer.cpp", lines 89-101.)

If, however, your H.264 video comes from a live source (e.g., from an encoder), 
rather than from a file, then you can still use "testOnDemandRTSPServer" as a 
model, but you have some additional programming to do.  See the FAQ.
