[Live-devel] trying to capture an .mp4 with openRTSP

>pugscam.mp4

A couple of quick questions:
1/ Are you able to play the stream rtsp://10.0.1.199:554/pugscam.sdp 
in a media player (QuickTime Player or VLC)?
2/ Are you making sure that "openRTSP" terminates properly?  You 
can't just <control>-C it, otherwise the resulting output file will 
be incomplete.  You have to terminate it with "kill -HUP", or else 
specify a specific duration in advance, using the "-d <duration>" 
option.

If both of these are true, then I don't know what the problem might 
be; you should ask a QuickTime mailing list why the file won't play.
