Hi,

I am interested in using RTP to transfer MPEG-1 data over
a network, using the encoding mentioned in RFC 2038
(ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2038.txt).  I am not going to use the full
RTSP protocol to start off with, ie. I will practise putting MPEG inside
UDP/RTP  frames with the extension header mentioned in RFC 2038.

Will Ethereal be able to dissect this setup?  (At least the RTP
fixed header part).  I remember seeing some discussion on the mailing
list that Ethereal could only dissect RTP if it was accompanied
by RTSP or RTCP control messages.

Thanks.
