Can I route AVAssetWriter to a network stream in iOS4?

Question

AVAssetWriter takes the URL of the file as an argument and writes buffers added to its AVAssetWriterInput to this file.

AVAssetWriter* assetWriter = [[AVAssetWriter alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"...fileURL..."] fileType:AVFileTypeMPEG4 error:&error]; 

If a network URL is specified (i.e., an RTSP server waiting for a streaming source), an exception is thrown because a file-based URL is required.

Is there any other way to access the exit of the resource owner? I want to use the integrated H.264 encoding and just get access to the encoded data by bits to transfer them over the network.

No.
