<div>Sorry for the long delay in responding to this. (I've been
traveling for the past two months, and am way behind on email.)<br>

<div>The 'problem' is only that your operating system doesn't know how
to open the output file named "video-H264-1", because it is
(in this case) just a raw H.264 video file, not a 'mp4'-format file.
(Note, BTW, that the "-4" option tells "openRTSP"
to output a 'mp4'-format file, *not* an AVI-format file.)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If, however, you change the name to (e.g.)
"example.h264", then some media players - for example VLC -
may be able to play it.</div>
