Note that “testH264VideoStreamer” expects a file named “test.264”, not 
“test.h264”.

Yes, I suspect so.

I suggest collecting short files using both methods (“cat /dev/video0 > 
test1.264” and "raspivid -o test2.264”), upload those two files to a 
(publicly-accessible) web server, and send me the URL(s).  I’ll then download 
them and take a look at them, to see why our software might not be happy with 
them.
