Yes, that URL is available on from within the university. I'm sorry, I
thought that I mentioned that in the original mail.

Actually, the original link _is_ mms:// and it relies on a
[bug|feature] in WMP to call rtsp:// on failed mms:// links. The
working URL is most defintely the rstp:// address and it works with
other media players such as VLC.
