Hopefully this isn't too redundant of a question.  I have checked the achives and find many similar questions, but they reference much older versions of Ethereal.  I am using the latest version (0.9.16) and trying to capture RTP associated with a SIP session.  Attached   I see in the SIP Invite message that where it references the UDP to be used for RTP (e.g. 2581), but Ethereal does not see it as the UDP packets as RTP and I can therefore not use the RTP analsys tool.

Ethereal sees the Invite message if it's in the capture, but 0.9.16 doesn't use that information to flag subsequent packets as RTP; the current CVS version does, so that'll be in the next release.

Until then, you can use, as the other reply mentioned, the "Decode As..." menu item.
