No, you did nothing wrong.  The problem is simply that VLC cannot 
play these 'raw' data files, because it does not know their media 
types.  (Yet again, I remind everyone that VLC is not our software.)

You should, however, be able to use VLC (and perhaps QuickTime 
Player) to play this stream directly, from its "rtsp://" URL, because 
- in this case - the media player client will know the type of the 
media that it's playing.
