I will be creating this as a desktop application. I have already written in
C++ a controller interface for the xbox 360. I now need to get the video
into the application. My thought was to use zink or some other 3rd party
projector but all them seem to only allow you to load a local file not a url
for the stream. Thanks for your insight. Back to google I go!

Actually, one really neat thing about the new FlashLite2 is that you can play
raw mpeg4/qt and h series streams DIRECTLY into the Flash player as long as
your phone/PDA has the codec/driver. I did a POC of this on a Nokia phone for
a real time, per minute billing solution. So, in a way, it IS possible to play
native video (Real Player works as well on Pocket PC etc). This is a special
build of the player I know, but maybe there is a way to leverage it still for
what you are trying to do.
We streamed the movies with a Flash app in about 5 lines of code from a Darwin
Streaming Server running on Debian. (the phone was mpeg4 ready)

The Flash Player doesn't support the RTSP protocol (neither RTP, RTCP
which are usually also required for proper RTSP) and it doesn't
support decoding MPEG4 Video. So, currently there is no way for you
to play such a stream natively in the player and I doubt it will be
coming anytime soon if ever. The only other option would be for you
to try to layer a quicktime player (if that player supports the
version of mpeg4 your camera provides) or some media player on top of
the Flash interface and have them communicate to each other, which
essentially means you would fake the displaying of the video within
Flash.
My guess is you are trying to do this within a browser, if you have
the option of distributing this application as a desktop application
you might want to look into some methods of embedding media player
within a desktop application or take a look at 3rd party projector
tools which some will allow you to do this more easily if you have no
experience in writing desktop applications
