To repeat myself: You can only use mplayer to "play" rtsp streams, downloading
and remuxing will not work. (Allow me to add that the result of the remux might
not make you happy: Both mencoder and ffmpeg will probably loose packets and
some frames will be damaged.)
The reason it would not work for you as-is, is your broken (?, it might not be
broken, but it is the reason it doesn't work) network configuration, you need
-rtsp-stream-over-tcp. Note that ffmpeg does not currently support
rtsp-over-tcp, afaik.
