Here is a copy-paste of his introduction
As a developper of VLC media player, I often get to see people wonder ing whether they should use RTSP or HTTP to stream their audio or audio/video content. Even though I like open standards (which the IETF champions), I cannot say I am a big fan of RTSP.
Remark
N.B.: this article is concerned about video-on-demand. For live streaming, there may be more reasons to prefer RTSP over HTTP.
