Note that almost all MPEG RTSP/RTP streams consist of separate 
streams for audio and video (even if the input source, on the server, 
is a MPEG Program Stream).  Therefore, "openRTSP" will save these 
streams as separate files: one for (Elementary Stream) audio; the 
other for (Elementary Stream) video.  VLC should play either of these 
files, but you may have to rename them with appropriate file name 
suffixes (e.g., ".mp3" and ".mpg", respectively), first.
