That's correct.  Note, however, that the file contains *raw elementary 
stream* video data.  It is not a .mp4-format file.

That's a problem with the media players, not with "openRTSP" (which is 
working properly).

There's no easy way that I know of to do this.  Instead, run "openRTSP" 
with the "-q" or "-4" options: see 
<http://www.live.com/openRTSP/#quicktime>.  This will output  - to stdout - 
a ".mov" or ".mp4" format file.
