Serious professionals do not use "@gmail.com" email addresses.

This will give you HTTP streaming, *not* RTSP.

Note that this URL works (with the given username, password) in 
Firefox, and probably other web browsers also - when I click on the 
"Single" tab.

That will never work, because "http/m4v::// is not a valid URL prefix.

Note  that the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" libraries in VLC are used 
only if a "rtsp://" URL is given.  Therefore, because you're using 
HTTP, and not RTSP (not even RTSP-over-HTTP), this is not the right 
mailing list for your question.  I don't know whether or not VLC will 
be able to play your stream, but you will need to ask a VLC-specific 
mailing list about this.
