*All* RTSP servers generate SDP - in their response to the RTSP "DESCRIBE" 
command that is sent by the client.

One easy way to get the SDP description from the "rtsp://" URL is to run 
the command-line tool "openRTSP": <http://www.live.com/openRTSP/> on 
it.  This will (among other things) print out the SDP description that the 
server returns.
