Am I obligated to use rstp ??

No, but it will make your life easier (and will be manditory if you later decide that you want unicast streaming, rather than multicast).

If you don't use RTSP, then you can still get VLC to play the stream from "testMPEG1or2VideoStreamer", by asking it to open a SDP description for the stream. This SDP description is in the file "testMPEG1or2Video.sdp" (which is provided, in the "testProgs" directory, along with the "testMPEG1or2Video.cpp" code).

If you instead use RTSP, then the RTSP server - built into the "testMPEG1or2Video" application if you uncomment the line
        #define IMPLEMENT_RTSP_SERVER 1
will automatically provide a SDP description to VLC (and other RTSP clients).
