You may want to check out the INET Framework, which has models for video simulation. Quoting the documentation:

The UDPVideoStreamCli and UDPVideoStreamSvr modules in the inet.applications.udp package provide a simple video streaming model; video traffic is modeled as CBR stream.

When you start the OMNeT++ IDE for the first time, it will ask you whether it should download that -- alternatively you can download it from the website. You can find an overview of all models (and the associated packages, in case you forgot to install them with OMNeT++) in that framework here: https://inet.omnetpp.org/Protocols.html

According to that list, there should also be a detailed trace-based list in a component in the OMNeT++ download area, although the link provided doesn't seem to work any more.
