First, because you have already called "qtOut<-startPlaying(...);", you must not also call "scs.subsession->sink->startPlaying(...);".

Also, one important thing to understand about the "QuickTimeFileSink" class is that - to properly write the output file (including data 'trailers') - your application *must* close it properly - by calling "Medium::close(qtOut);" - when you're done.  You cannot just '<control>-c' your application.
	See the "Important note" here: http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/#quicktime

If the sender sends RTCP "BYE" packets (for each subsession) when the stream ends, then your application's 'bye handler' should do this automatically. Otherwise, you have to set up a signal handler in your application (as "openRTSP" does), or set up a timer, to close "qtOut" after a certain period of time has elapsed.

I suggest that you first figure out how to get the "openRTSP" application to read your stream - so it will write a proper MP4-format file - and then (and only then) start writing your own application that does the same.
