There is apparently some problem with the way IP multicast is configured on 
your machine - but fortunately it doesn't seem to be preventing the code 
from working.

1/ By setting the (optional) "bufferSize" parameter to "FileSink::createNew()"
2/ By *upgrading* to a more recent version of the "LIVE.COM Streaming 
Media" code (where the default value is 20000 rather than 10000).  You're 
apparently using a version of the code that's more than 2 months old!

No, MPlayer's "rtp://" hack is code that someone else added, and it works 
only for MPEG-2 Transport Streams (and perhaps not even then).  Don't use 
it.  Instead, enable the built-in RTSP server in 
"testMPEG1or2VideoStreamer", and run "MPlayer" with a "rtsp://" URL.

By the way, I now recommend using "VLC" <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/> 
instead of MPlayer to receive/play RTP streams.
