OK, thanks for noting this.  The problem is that the LIVE.COM library 
currently implements only Digest authentication, whereas your camera server 
apparently asks for Basic authentication (not Digest).  So I need to update 
the LIVE.COM library to support both kinds of authentication.

Do you have an example of a publically accessible "rtsp://" URL (with a 
valid username:password pair) that I can use to test this?
