n00b wants to play movie to quicktime over net

[Randy Bush]

getting pretty desperate here.  to remind
  gstreamer running on a racked ubuntu 12.04 server
  sshed in -X so x can tunnel back to me (140-150ms rtt away)
  quicktime on a macbook pro

excuse tracisms.  does this list have a convention for encapsulating
code?

{{{
    $ gst-launch videotestsrc ! ximagesink
}}}

displays the test pattern back to me over ssh -X, aside from 150ms rtt
making x slow enough to make gstreamer whine

displays the movie back to me over ssh -X.  though there is whining
about net rtt again

tried

tried

    WARNING: erroneous pipeline: could not link rtph264pay0 to ximagesink0

so i try

{{{
    $ gst-launch-0.10 gstrtpbin name=rtpbin filesrc location=/home/randy/test.mov ! qtdemux ! rtph264pay ! rtpbin.send_rtp_sink_0 rtpbin.send_rtp_src_0 ! udpsink host=198.180.150.10 port=8554

but running quicktime on a mac from rtsp://rtsp.iad.rg.net:8554/ does
not whine about no content (shows a pulsating bar) but displays nothing

{{{
    $ gst-launch-0.10 -ve gstrtpbin name=rtpbin filesrc location=/home/randy/test.mov queue h264parse rtph264pay  rtpbin.send_rtp_sink_0 rtpbin.send_rtp_src_0 queue udpsink host=198.180.150.10 port=8554 rtpbin.send_rtcp_src_0 rtpbin.recv_rtcp_sink_0

same result, quicktime on the mac from rtsp://rtsp.iad.rg.net:8554/ does
not whine about no content (shows a pulsating bar) but displays nothing

sounds of head beating against wall
