Yes, the problem is that your client (QuickTime Player) is trying to 
send RTSP-over-HTTP (note the HTTP "GET" command), which our RTSP 
server implementation currently does not support.

Yes, QuickTime Player will work if you stop it from trying to use 
RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling.  Maybe you have a firewall somewhere that 
is blocking TCP port 8554?  If so, either unblock this, or else 
change "testMPEG4VideoStreamer" to use TCP port 554 for RTSP (if 
you're on Unix, you will need to be 'root' to do this).
