[Ffmpeg-devel] Image blurs in case of packet loss when using h.263 codec

Luca,

Thank you for your reply.
But I am not familiar with RTP/RTSP very much (it includes a lot of RFC
docs...) I am wondering how it resolves this issue? Using retransmission to
prevent packet loss? I am using the frame rate of 15 frames/sec to capture
the video, is it enough? Please forgive me for this foolish question...

Use rtp/rtsp and make sure you send often enough
keyframes/syncpoints/nameithowyouwant, that may help but not solve the
issue.
