[streaming] frame-by-frame streaming server example using vlc?

[videolanforums]

Hi,

Depending on your frame rate requirements you could start by generating an 
MJPEG stream - which you can then transcode to mpeg4 on the fly by vlc for 
your clients.

Or if your frame rates are in the seconds per frame you can use vlc 1.x to 
load, and update an image from a file - the maximum frequency of this seems to 
be one update per second (too slow for my needs).  From this "fake file" input 
you can stream directly out as mpeg4.

Hope this helps.
