I assume here that you are talking about VLC *receiving* RTP video.  (When 
*sending* RTP, VLC does not use our software.)

In principle, the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" library (used by VLC) can receive 
either payload format: "MP4V-ES" or "MPEG4-GENERIC" - depending on what's 
specified in the stream's SDP description.  However, the code that VLC uses to 
interface with LIVE555 assumes that a "MPEG4-GENERIC" stream is audio only.

(I have never seen a stream that uses "MPEG4-GENERIC" for video.)

So, if you want to send MPEG-4 video over RTP, you should use the MP4V-ES 
payload format.
