I'm setting up a server to stream the input from a Hauppauge PVR-150
card and it works very nicely here over the wired network. The command
I've using for vlc is:

vlc pvr:/dev/video0:norm=pal:size=720x576 -I telnet --sout udp:239.0.0.1
- --ttl 1

which pipes the mpeg2 output straight over vlc.

The problem is that when I start to use a wireless link (2x Linksys
WAP54G in bridge mode) there is random errors showing up in the video
stream.

I know the problem is that udp doesn't garrentee packets will get there
which hasn't been a problem on the wired network, but what method or
protocol would be more appropriate for multicasting over wireless?

Thanks.
