This memo describes a packetization scheme for MPEG video and audio streams. The scheme proposed can be used to transport such a video or audio flow over the transport protocols supported by RTP. Two approaches are described. The first is designed to support maximum interoperability with MPEG System environments. The second is designed to provide maximum compatibility with other RTP-encapsulated media streams and future conference control work of the IETF. This memo is a revision of RFC 2038@ an Internet standards track protocol. In this revision@ the packet loss resilience mechanisms in Section 3.4 were extended to include additional picture header information required for MPEG2. A new section on security considerations for this payload type is added.
