Well, if you have a video player that can read from stdin, then you 
could pipe the video (from "testMPEG1or2VideoReceiver") into it.

There are prebuilt binary versions of VLC available on their web site.

VLC is easy - just enter the appropriate "rtsp://" URL into its 'open' dialog.

No, there's also MPlayer (although VLC is better), and probably other 
media players as well.
