Hello Klaus ,
I am following your steps.But I am getting some problem after adding
"app_mp4.c", when I install asterisk . It is giving an error like  "mp4.h"
include file not available . I tried to looked on the web but I am not
getting any source from where i could get this file.
Could you please suggest me something about it .

I would like to tell you about my setup configuration,
I installed CentOS5.4  +  Asterisk 1.6.2.6 .  + Asterisk Add on 1.6.2.0 +
DAHDI 2.2.1.1 full package + LibPRI 1.4.10.2.

I also purchased Bria 3.0 (counterpath product , it supports video ) and I
am able to make SIP Voice calls through my asterisk server .

Thanks ,
Aman
