A more detailed answer :-)  The words "Microsoft 
RTSP standard" are an oxymoron.  There *is* a 
RTSP standard - and we support it - but Microsoft 
does not.  They use their own proprietary (and 
undocumented) variants of RTSP, and their own 
proprietary (and undocumented) codecs.  We do not 
support these.

You need to use a different, standards-compliant 
server (e.g., "LIVE555 Media Server" or "Darwin 
Streaming Server" - not Microsoft's.
