No, I don't think so.  One thing you could try, however, is running 
"openRTSP" on the "rtsp://" URL that's printed by "testMPEG4VideoStreamer" 
- i.e.,
         openRTSP -V -n rtsp://192.192.192.51:7070/
If this works (i.e., it prints that it's receiving data OK), then you 
*should* also be able to receive/play the stream using QuickTime Player, by 
configuring it to use regular UDP and RTSP., and then opening the "rtsp://" 
URL, using "file"->"Open URL".  Keep trying...
