You can use ffmpeg to wrap the file into a mp4 container. I think the  
command is just the following:

./ffmpeg -i video-MP4V-ES-1 out.mp4

You should then be able to open the file with VLC. Also, ffmpeg will  
usually tell you if there are problems with the bitstream. I have also  
just renamed the file with a .m4v extension and VLC can play it  
directly without any container.

I have used openRTSP in the past to capture a stream from an Axis  
camera and it worked fine. You might also want to turn the debug log  
level up in vlc and see if it reports any errors.
