I am trying to stream an mp4 file (h264 encoded, no audio) over RTP. When I use the pipeline to play the streamed file at the receiver using xvimagesink, it plays fine. However, when I try to save the same stream to an .mp4 file, an error for lack of library support is given. The pipelines and output are given here: -->> May be i gues since already you have demuxed the mp4 file, it is no longer in mp4 container file format. Streaming of mp4 files is generaaly supported if it has hint tracks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sender: gst-launch-0.10 -v  filesrc location=Filename1.mp4 ! qtdemux ! rtpmp4vpay pt=96 ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=42050 sync=false -->> rtpmp4vpay is rtp packetizer for mpeg4 video.

Then, the pipeline doesnt end and I dont get any errors but the output file is always 0 bytes (no data) and I have to Ctrl+C to end the pipeline. Please help!
