Just off the cuff here, if you can create an avi template, (i.e. the basic headers/footers) you should be able to paste,(ie. write in binmode), the packet data("actual data", not including the headers (if applicable)) in the appropriate section of that .avi template

That would be my approach. Also, I notice you're using UDP. I don't know if that's the standard protocol for streaming or not, but it would seem to me that TCP would be a lot more reliable. IE. if you're listening on a UDP port, you don't always know where the traffic comes from (to the best of my memory).
