I had cvs vls streaming v4l(bttv) input to vlc 0.6.2 on windoz. Video 
worked great but sound was corrupted. The thread said this was fixed so 
I cvs-ed again. Now I get nothing...

vlc is windows client, I open network stream which comes up as udp:// by 
default. I type in the server ip and press ok. vlc just sits there. I 
look at messages and see the following::

access_udp error: this UDP syntax is deprecated; the server argument will be
access_udp error: ignored (192.168.0.10:0). If you wanted to enter a 
multicast address
access_udp error: or local port, type : udp:@192.168.0.10:0

huh?? I tried typing  udp:@... vlc opens local dvd drive!  duh...

I don't see any vlc windows client docs on site. This actually worked 
for a minute. This is very disappointing.
Any ideas...

thanks
