We don't (currently) support the reading of ".mov" or ".mp4" format 
files.  To be able to read MPEG-4 video data, it *must* be in raw 
video Elementary Stream form - i.e., a sequence of MPEG-4 video 
frames.

If your input data is a discrete sequence of MPEG-4 video frames - 
rather than a byte stream - then you should feed it into a 
"MPEG4VideoStreamDiscreteFramer", rather than a 
"MPEG4VideoStreamFramer".

Finally, a reminder, once again, that we have our own RTSP server 
implementation (as demonstrated by the "testMPEG4VideoStreamer" 
application (for multicast), or the "testOnDemandRTSPServer" 
appliication (for unicast).  You do *not* need to use a separate 
'Darwin Streaming Server', and we no longer provide support for the 
"test*toDarwin" demo applications.
