I think (hope) you meant to say that you changed the name of 
"video-MPV-1" to "test.mpg".  But even that won't work (see below).



>But it cannot be streamed!

The problem is that the file "video-MPV-1" that openRTSP recorded is 
a MPEG Video *Elementary* Stream - i.e., a video-only stream - *not* 
a MPEG Program Stream.

To stream this using "testOnDemandRTSPServer", you will need to 
rename it as "testv.mpg", and use the "rtsp:// ... 
/mpeg1or2ESVideoTest" URL.  Then, it should work.
