[vlc] Re: No video when streaming/saving rtsp stream (even streaming to 'play localy')

[Anthony Joseph Seward]

Does anyone have any idea why I can't save the video of [2] or stream it
on Windows?

Does anyone have any idea why I can't get anything from [2] under FC5?

Cut and paste error here. [2] should have been
   http://quickmedia.fencingchannel.net/WCH05/foiltest.mov
but that does not change the rtsp URL below.  [2] above resolves to
rtsp://64.34.183.132:80/MFFRA06/CIPSEMIA_H.mov but gives the same
results as the rstp link below.
