They work for me ; that url points to another text file, which you can wget 
and extract the final url from it (ie : 
rtsp://a1442.v94997.c9499.g.vr.akamaistream.net/ondemand/7/1442/9499/v001/defjam.download.akamai.com/9499/defjam/jarule/350_ja_thuglovin.rm

Two things that work for me i) specify port 1755 in the mms url
or ii) use mmst:// instead of mms://

And than it works for me - although ffwmv2 was rather buggy with the clip I 
tried.
