You mean "live.com".  ("real.com" is a different company :-)

Yes, please make sure that you're using the latest version (currently 
2004.01.10) of the "LIVE.COM Streaming Media" code.

Does the time interval between printing
         Beginning to read from file...
and
         ...done reading from file
correspond to the actual playing time of your "test.mpg" file, or is it 
much shorter than the playing time of the file?  If the time interval is 
much shorter than the playing time of the file, then that suggests that 
your "test.mpg" file is not a proper MPEG (1 or 2) Program Stream file.

Don't forget the trailing "/" in the URL - i.e. rtsp://172.30.50.33/

"-t" will not work (because the stream is multicast).  However, "-n" is useful.

Make sure that it's on the same multicast-connected network (e.g., on the 
same LAN) as the machine that's running "testMPEG1or2AudioVideoStreamer".
