You can maybe use a perl-script/python-script/ruby-script or similar to convert your hexdata to a file that can be read into ethereal.

If you just want to analyze a few messages you could use text2pcap to convert the octets to a file in libpcap format.

http://www.ethereal.com/docs/man-pages/text2pcap.1.html

 

<text2pcap -u 1999,1999  test.txt  test.pcap

 

test.txt is the infile and test.pcap is the outfile. I have enclosed a sample with two H.245 PDUs.

 

You can then mark one of the packet and use "Decode As..." and then select H.245 in the list of protocols.

Actually it is not normal to send H.245 directly over UDP, but I used this feature to basic test the H.245 dissector.
