What is simplest way to decode and display RTP(MPEG4 TS).

Question

I am working on a small video chat software on windows which use RTP containning MPEG4 TS that I need to decode and display.

I don't need some senior control of the video quality, and I don't want to write a jitter-buffer.

So which library should I use? What is simplest way to decode and display RTP(MPEG4 TS).

Answer 1

A very good library in C is of course ffmpeg. It is a bit hard to use as it is low-level. You can use an interesting C++ wrapper : FOBS which has JMF bindings too. If it is not enough, a great C++ library for managing the RTP part is Live555.

You can also try to use mplayer or vlc library part, but it is not easy to integrate as is.
