OT: RTP Stream Analysis and Reporting

All:

I have recently captured quite a large volume of RTP traffic using
Wireshark and am searching for a way to generate some decent reporting
against the trace files. Wireshark itself allows for some analysis via:

Telephony->RTP->Stream Analysis

However, other than saving the raw line-by-line statistics to a .csv
file, there doesn't appear to be any rich reporting capability. In
the analysis window, I see summary information as follows:

Max delta = 16.75 ms at packet no. 328593
Max jitter = 0.66 ms. Mean jitter = 0.12 ms.
Max skew = -6.45 ms.
Total RTP packets = 404234 (expected 404234) Lost RTP packets = 0
(0.00%) Sequence errors = 0
Duration 600.00 s (-5 ms clock drift, corresponding to 89999 Hz (-0.00%)

None of this is exported to the .csv file. My goal is to provide a
client with a succinct report of these captured RTP streams (MPEG-
II). In particular "Lost RTP packets" and "Sequence errors" are of
interest. I evaluated Cascade Pilot from Cace Tech but they seem
slanted towards TCP in their reporting capabilities. Anybody know of
a trick in Wireshark or some other product that I can leverage for
this purpose (short of doing a bunch of screen capture)?

Thanks much,

Scott
