I am trying to decode an h.264 stream and seeing a lot of "illegal short

tell me what causes these errors? It is possible that there is a problem 
with the stream being created by the h.264 camera but I will need to be 
able to explain what the problem is (if there is one) to the camera 
manufacturer. Thanks, David
If this is UDP, it's a buffering problem - ffmpeg has a socket buffer limit of 64KB; an 1280x720  I-frame is often 200K-300K, so some packets get lost.

Try to switch to TCP; if the problem disappears, that's your problem.
