I did. However, I know jack about all this stuff, and yet I have
been placed into the director's chair. Not my choice, trust me!

According to our technician (he is CC'ed), this is not dictated by
the RFC. Maybe Thomas can provide more information here.

I gave you the wrong link. The correct link is

  rtsp://hollywood.unizh.ch/PLAY/Channels/0008/de/QuickTime/Archive/2003_11_04-08_24_27/Video200k/video.mov

and it still returns a 404 on DESCRIBE, but it works with QuickTime
(> 6.0) on Windows.

The server is running QTSS/4.1.3 (Build/412.45; Platform/MacOSX),
and the question is if this problem can be solved by upgrading to
QTSS version 5.

I appreciate any tips and any help!
