> 1. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and used two instances of the terminal ; one running live555mediaserver and the other retrieveing bipbop-gear1-all.ts using "./openRTSP -T 8000 rtsp://10.0.2.15:8554/bipbop-gear1-all.ts". This file which is given as a test file is around 44.5MB. It took 1807 seconds (~30 minutes). Is this delay of transmission normal or I am facing some other problems?

No, it just means that the bitrate of your HTTP stream was 197 kbps.


> 2. Next I followed the same procedure for a m4e file (petrov.m4e; an example file in m4e format). Even though I was able to successfully retrieve it. the type it generated was "unknown". Hence I could not play the stream (unlike the bipbop-gear1-all.ts which was retrieved as MPEG2 transport stream and was successfully able to play with movie player).

This just means that the media player application that you used does not understand how to play MPEG-4 Elementary Stream Video files.
