VLC will not show the stream as a device because the stream isn't configured as a device on my PC. That's the whole point of my question, I want to make the stream show up as a local device on my PC but don't know of any driver that will do that.
Quicktime can open the stream if I click on File->Open URL
and provide
rtsp://ip_address/img/video.sav
as the address. I get prompted for username/password after which I can see the stream OK.
VLC can try to open a network stream but fails, because it's password protected, see below thread.

SplitCam doesn't have an option for capturing streams at all.
I appreciate any ideas.
Thanks.
