Here's a general dive on RTMP. You can see the packet structure contains metadata in the header about the content that will follow. The NetStream link I put above talks about it as well when using appendBytes(). The byte(array) parser understands FLV files with a header. After the header is parsed (again, see RTMP and what the server sends (0x12) before invoking a play), it expects all future calls to appendBytes() to be a continuation of that file (or stream). In other words, the first call to appendBytes() is missing the header.
This is where I rely on FMS for the most part. I know it knows to send a header upon connection. If you're implementing your own streaming setup you're going to need to supply this just like a FMS RTMP connection would (in AMF). I haven't needed to do anything this custom but if you get the structure of an initial RTMP connection (sniff it with a fiddler2 or find a resource on the structure) and encode it in byteArray, send it first to appendBytes with the correct information about the video you're sending, it should work.
Otherwise it makes sense appendBytes is failing by just getting a chunk of binary without having a header (the instructions on what exactly the binary is and how to use it).
Strictly per the documentation, On2/VP6 should be fine, I use it for all my old f4v projects. I'm not sure about MPGA/V.
