Save the RTP stream in rtpdump format
(Analyze/statistics/RTP streams/show all.../Save As...) and
Use e.g. rtpplay to send the RTP stream towards some program that supports
G.726-32 codec and can listen for RTP packets on
A certain port. QuickTime player can listen on a specific port (or specific
Ports) by using an SDP-file (but this only works for the codecs that are
Suported in QuickTime ).

I don't know if QuickTime player supports g.726-32 K (and exactly what you
Wocould need to write in the SDP-file if g726 is supported)
This document says QuickTime supports ADPCM at least, but I don't know that
That cocould mean that g.721/G.726-32 is supported.

Below is a short summary how you can use QuickTime player together
Rtpplayer to Replay audio and video.
I have used this method for H.263-2000 video, H.261 video, PCMU audio, PCMA
Audio, Amr audio and some other codes.

You can experiment with the avican sample files if you want (H.261 video and
PCMU audio RTP packets in libpcap compatible files ):
Http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/avican/examples/index.htm

1) install QuickTime player

2) download rtptools http://www.cs.columbia.edu/IRT/software/rtptools/

3) Prepare an *. SDP file for the codecs/payloadtypes/ports you want to use
(The other information in the SDP-file seems not to be important ).
I have put in a sample below of the SDP-file I used when testing with
Avican sample files.

4) Prepare rtpdump files with Ethereal (analyze/statistics/RTP streams/show
All.../Save As...) for the two streams.
You'll have to use decode as .. to decode port 5000 and 6000 as RTP in
This specific case.

5) Start up QuickTime player and use file/Open movie in New player... and
Select the SDP-file you prepared
(Or it might be enough to double click on the SDP-file if SDP files are
Asociated with QuickTime player)

6) Use rtpplay to send the RTP packets (audio and/or video) towards your own
IP-address on the port numbers used in the SDP-file:
<Rtpplay-T-F audiopcmu_0.rtp 127.0.0.1/5000
You will need two shells in order to send both audio and video
<Rtpplay-T-F videoh261_31.rtp 127.0.0.1/5002

7) you'll have to close the QuickTime player window between each time you
Start again with sending media towards quick time player
(I guess this is because it expects the packets to come in sequence order ).

PS! It shoshould also be possible to use JMF jmstudio as an alternative
QuickTime player in this case since jmstudio also supports both H.261 and
PCMU.
You will not use a SDP file then (and thus it is not possible to use this
Method for Dynamic payload types ).
You use the menu alternative file/Open RTP session... and specify the port
To listen on (the easiest is to use the same port for both audio and video)
And
Send the RTP packets to that port with rtpplay.

JMF/jmstudio doesn't support siren codec, at least what I know.

Jmstudio supports H.263 video (RFC 2190 ).

I think QuickTime player supports H.263-2000 (rfc2429) and/or H.263-1998 (rfc2429)
But it seems not to support the old H.263 (rfc2190 ).
H.263 (rfc2190) is the codec corresponding to payload type 34.

I don't think QuickTime player supports siren codec.

I'm not sure how you cocould replay siren codec right now.
I will try to find some more information about that.

Note: quick time only supports H263-1998 and H263-2000

1. Use ethereal/Wireshark to capture RTP data packets and select the h263 filter condition to save
2. Statistics/RTP streams/show all streams
3. Save As to rtpdump format
4. Use rtpplay to send RTP, rtpplay-T-F file IP/Port
5. Create an SDP File
6. Play with QuickTime
