rtsp needs muxing to dump it (unless you're ok with audio-only or video-only),
so you'd have to use mencoder anyway.

ffmpeg://rtsp://quick.2.c3.audiovideoweb.com:2554/2c3quick2539/ArvidCarlssonStr.mov?tcp
works for me.
The "tcp" selects rtsp over TCP, it is necessary for me but it's possible it'll work
better for you without.
