Are you stumped by error messages from all open source video playing tools when you try to access a MMS or RTSP form URL? (See examples of such error messages below.)
You are probably trying to access a Windows Media Server that nowadays only supports RTSP traffic; the old MMS protocol is discarded.
The catch is, being Microsoft, they have used a RTSP-like implementation, which is modified with Microsoft's own quirks. So it is not standard form anymore.
RTSPdump can be run on Linux, Windows, and practically any OS where command-line PHP can be run.
