I have been using EvalVid with ns2.  Because EvalVid uses tcpdump files for 
evaluating the video transmission, I wrote a script that processes the ns2 
tracefile and converts the relevant parts into the two tcpdump files needed 
for etmp4.  I also wrote some support for the frame file which is outputted 
by mp4trace.

It's not very hard. There are a few other approaches, which can be found via 
google and the evalvid pages.
