Hello,

This will open in quicktime and safari (on my mac at least)

rtsp://v6.cache7.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQk-fYZWNAPDsxMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp

Ideally I would want to play this inside a webpage (ie has to be supported) as is, but I'm willing to transcode (from what I gather on the net, quicktime can play it, but I can get ie to embed quicktime) to another video format. Preferably FLV. The transcoding will be taking place on a linux box (assuming its possible to)

Any help would be great, I'll post the links I have found so far that are relevant. I have looked through them pretty extensivly and have not gotten anything to work.

I seem to get pretty far, but there is a message from mencoder

Code:
