-Remove _ALL_ RTP trash and either feed the fragments through an AVParser and
-then into the decoder or merge the fragments yourself into proper frames and
-feed them into the decoder. Note: The payload of H.263-RTP is not valid
-H.263 you at least have to merge the first and last bytes discarding RTP trash
-from them, possibly more. Also look at rfc 4629.
+Even if peculiar since it is network oriented, RTP is a container like any
+other. You have to DEMUX RTP before feeding the payload to libavcodec.
+In this specific case please look at rfc 4629 to see how it should be done.
