I have captured rtsp and mms streams in this way. But are you sure that
those are the urls of the streams, or are they a playlist (ie a small
text file containing the url of the real stream?)

try putting -playlist beofre the URL

Also I assume you have mplayer compiled with support for the real
codecs? what error message do you get when trying to play the stream?
