Hi there, I don't know too much about h.264, but the thing is that I've got this video in h.264 in a mp4 container which I would like to stream over UDP.

My question is simple, is there any tweaks I can maybe do while coding the video so that it comes out fairly tolerant to some "light" packet loss?

I know that compressed video usually has a keyframe every N frames and then in between those it just sends the deltas. I can imagine h.264 should is a lot more complex than that, and so the it might not be just so simple.

To be more precise, I've been making some experiments and realized that just by removing 1024 bytes out of a stream of video, I render it completely "unplayable" from the point of the loss and on.

What I would like is for it to tolerate light losses like that, is it possible?

Thanks
