Thank you for giving me all these information, but i want to ask you
something more specific.

Ok..
Lets say i broadcast a live streaming video from a TV channel
vlc -vvv mms://streaming-1.intelcom.sm/magictv:sout=#duplicate{dst=std
{access=udp,mux=ts,url=139.91.70.64:1234}}

The only way (i know untill now) to playback the streamed video i just
broadcasted is with the vlc client by the command
vlc udp:139.91.70.64:1234

Can i playback this live streaming video through windows media player or
real one player?
Do i need to use other protocol than udp? (maybe http or rtp in order i
can view the video in the clients i refer above?)

And something else..
Now, when i broadcast a video i use the IP adress of my PC.Is this the
only url i can use when i am broadcasting a video..?
(can i use something like that 192.168.0.2 ? - when i try this it doesnt
work)

And something finally..
Are you thinking of porting the vlc in mobile devices?
My goal (thats why i use the vlc) is to transcode "on the fly -in real
time" a live streaming video (from a TV channel), change the quality
(bitrate for video and audio) and broadcast it in order to be playable
from a mobile or a Pocket PC device.
( i use the vlc product like a transcoder for live streaming video - Do
you know any other tool that makes something familiar?)
Untill now there is a client for mobile devices that supports rtsp
protocol (real one player for mobiles), so when you are going to finish
with the implementation of rtsp, am i be able to view something in the
mobile device through the real one player..?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. sorry for my bad english
