Since I see the word "rtp" in it, I am interested in this sample...
But I do not know how to access samples stored in upload.mplayerhq.hu
(I tried to log on the ftp server and to do a "get h264_rtp_stream_with_fec.raw",
but it did not work). Is there a standard procedure to get such samples?

Dummy question: what does this command do? Just remove the RTP headers
and save the payloads in h264_rtp_stream_with_fec.raw? Does mplayer try
to check if packets are missed, by looking at the counter in the RTP
header?

This generally happens when there are lost packets (movements increase
the bitrate, increasing the packet loss probability). But I am just
guessing...

I guess it is a TS with H.264 video in the video PID, right?
Anyway, I'll try to have a look at it if possible.
