Explorer can open the wrong player, if the .smil extension is mapped to
RealPlayer...
The easiest way to solve your problem is to open the rtsp url in your QT Pro
player and save a reference movie (.mov). Embed this mov file in your
webpage.
(You can also open the .smil in the QT Pro player and save a reference movie
(.mov) of that, if you need to use SMIL control)
