Use ffmpeg to stream VP8 encoded video over RTP

I was able to create an mpeg encoded SRTP stream with ffmpeg, however I need to be able to stream VP8 encoded video.

This is the command I used to create an SRTP stream

ffmpeg -re -i BigBuckBunny.mp4 -f rtp_mpegts -acodec mp3 -srtp_out_suite AES_CM_128_HMAC_SHA1_80 -srtp_out_params <SOME_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE> srtp://127.0.0.1:20000

As I ultimately only need to stream video, and not audio, and the file is already a vp8 encoded webm, I assume the option I need to change is the -f rtp_mpegts but there doesn't seem to be an option for vp8

Is this possible with FFMEG?

mpegts is an video format for transmission, which is normally bundle with the MPEG-2 codec.

-f rtp_mpegts but there doesn't seem to be an option for vp8

libvpx is the ffmpeg encoder ( https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/VP8 )

But if your video exist in VP8 codec, you don't need to recode this video again. You maybe need to rewrap this video into an transport format, which is optimal for your needs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_container_formats).

Maybe you should use webM as target container format.
