Yes, you may need to remove the lines

>m=application 62344 SRRTP mstarcontrol
>c=IN IP4 224.32.3.32/32

because they're non-standard Marratech-proprietary stuff.

However, there's also a problem with the video stream specification:

>m=video 7438 RTP/AVP 96
>c=IN IP4 224.220.180.93/32

The problem here is that "96" is a dynamic RTP payload code, which means 
that there needs to be a subsequent "a=rtpmap:" line that defines which 
specific video codec uses this code.  Are you sure that there's no line like
         a=rtpmap:96 <video-codec-name>
somewhere in the SDP description?  You will need to have such a line in 
order to play this stream.
