<div>NO! The "rtsp://" URL does *not* contain the
multicast address. The correct "rtsp://" URL will be
displayed by "testMPEG1or2AudioVideoStreamer" (on its stderr
output) when it starts out. Use that.</div>

<div>If it still doesn't work, then make sure that</div>
<div>1/ Your file "test.mpg" is really a MPEG-1 or 2 Program
Stream file, and</div>
<div>2/ Your client (VLC) is on the same LAN as the server
(testMPEG1or2AudioVideoStreamer), or, if not, there is IP multicast
routing set up between the server and client networks. If you
don't have multicast routing between your server and client networks,
then you will need to use unicast streaming
("testOnDemandRTSPServer" or "live555MediaServer")
instead.</div>
