Hi,

G.729 is a licensed codec, hence cannot be included in Wireshark without cost. Check the Wiki how to add it yourself, if you wish.

Thanx,
Jaap

Someone has done great work and I can hear G711 calls but can not hear G729 calls. I�m running wireshark-win32-1.1.4-SVN-28054.exe which seems stable so far. I have set preferences for RTP and change "Treat RTP version 0 packets" into T.38 packets. Our VoIP traffic uses some G.711 and mostly G.729. I load a packet capture containing g711 and g729 then:

Telephony, VoIP calls, Select All, Player, [v] Use RTP timestamp, Decode

I select two check boxes with matching colors (cool feature!) and it plays the length of my g711 call and I hear sounds of the two RTP streams merged properly. Good job!
