What H.263 plugin are you using?  
I don't see H.263-CIF and H.263-QCIF definitions loading?

The H.263{sw} codec is being filtered out.
Remove the SetVideoFrameSize(H323Capability::cifMPI)  function out of your
code and both the MPEG4 and H.263 codecs will load.

Simon,

On my RHEL (actually Oracle Enterprise Linux) machine I initially attempted
this on with the same PTLIB/H323PLUS/OPENMCU combo, heres the level 5 output
when I start OpenMCU.  It looks like it loads everything then removes them,
and I am only left with H.261 CIF
