Quicktime Streaming...

Not sure where to post this, but its for a PC so this seemed like the right place ^_^.

I have a computer that when ever it clicks on a link to a url of a movie (I'm doing a project on advertising and want a link to a bmw film trailer stream in my power point presentation) it opens up "real player" (what a piece of junk), and then doesn't run it.  I know the link works (rtsp://a1009.v81222.c8122.g.vq.akamaistream.net/7/1009/8122/v002/fallonqt.download.akamai.com/8122/hire2/streaming/trailers/Hostage_QT_300k.mov), because if you put in the url box in QuickTime it finds it and streams it.  What I want is someway of ploping into to my presentation (if any of you happen to have a download location for such a trailer, that would work too!).  I'm thinking of linking to quicktime and then doing a command after "exe" to have it autostart the movie in the url (like -w for windowed mode in most video games).  Any  help would be greatly apperciated!

That is realplayer for you.  Realplayer likes to take over you computer.  Every time you run it it reconfigures your PC so that anything it thinks it can play it will take over.  I
