First, are you sure that you should be adding "-s 0"?  (If the RTP 
payload format includes a special header, then this option will 
(incorrectly) include it in the output.)

Second, I assume that you modified the "testOnDemandRTSPServer" code 
as described in http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#liveInput-unicast

I suggest that you first try breaking your command into separate steps:
         openRTSP -v ... > testFile
and then
         testOnDemandRTSPServer < testFile

If this doesn't work either, then you may need to increase your OS's 
socket buffering in "openRTSP"; see 
http://www.live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#packet-loss

If, however, the separate steps work, but piping doesn't, then you 
probably need to (somehow) increase the buffer size that your OS uses 
for pipes.

I don't recommend this.  Remember that once you make major 
modifications like this to the existing code, you can't expect much 
support (especially with a "@gmail.com" email address).
