GstRtspSink - Transport Stream RTSP Streaming
This example publishes an MPEG transport stream over RTSP. It is relevant when downstream systems already expect transport-stream packaging or when you need a specific interoperability profile.
When to use transport stream
Choose this layout when the client or downstream system expects a transport stream rather than elementary audio and video tracks.
Server-side Pipeline
The following pipeline combines takes an MPEG4 stream, encapsulates it in a Transport Stream container, and sends it via RTSP.
 | This example may fail in GStreamer versions lower than 1.8 due to a bug in the TS muxer. |

MAPPING=/stream
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src ! queue ! videoconvert ! avenc_mpeg4 ! mpeg4videoparse ! mpegtsmux ! capsfilter caps="video/mpegts, mapping=${MAPPING}" ! rtspsink name=sink service=$PORT

Summary
Transport stream over RTSP is a specialized interoperability option. Use it when the client stack explicitly benefits from TS packaging.
