OK, it sounds like it doesn’t really provide a ‘byte stream’, but instead
provides a chunk of data - for each frame - that consists of multiple NAL
units, each with a ‘start code’ in front. If that’s the case, then you don’t
need the full parsing overhead of “H264VideoStreamFramer”. Instead, you can
parse this chunk of code much easier, with just a handful of lines of code.
What I would suggest in this case is define your own filter (a subclass of
“FramedFilter”) that receives each chunk of data from the encoder, and then
delivers, one at a time, the NAL units that it contains - with presentation
times, but without ‘start codes’ - to a downstream
“H264VideoStreamDiscreteFramer”. This will be a lot more efficient that using
a “H264VideoStreamFramer”.

OK, but remember this would complicate your obligations under the LGPL, because
you would need to distribute your patch along with your product (so that your
customers could - whenever they wished - replace the LIVE555 libraries with
their own version). Whereas if instead you use the existing, unmodified
LIVE555 code with your own subclasses, then you wouldn’t need to distribute any
of your own code.
