[Asterisk-video] H263 (NOT H263+) mp4 hinting

[Sergio Garcia]

Ok, I'l try to explain it once again (h263 naming is a complete mess).

First, there is no such thing as h263/h263+/h253++ and h263-1996,h263-1998 and h263-2000 are just for rtp pacektization.

There is only one h263, but there has been three revisions of the standard, (1996,1998 and 200) and each revision has just added
anexes to it. So what it's usually called h263p is just h263 using some anexes (advanced intra coding, etc) at will.

Another different thing is rtp packetization, h263-1996 is rfc 2190, and h263-1998 and h263-2000 are rfc 2429.

Usually, for videoconferencing h263 is used without anexes. So the same base h263 stream can be pacektized as h263-1996 or
h263-1998. In fact converting from h263-1996 to h263-1998/2000 is almost trivial (not the other way round).

Hope it's a bit mor clear now.

Best regards
Sergio
