If you're not doing any transcoding, then you could instead try 
running "openRTSP" <http://www.live555.com/openRTSP/> with the "-4" 
option, to write a MPEG-4 format (to stdout).  (You should also use 
the "-w", "-h" and "-f" options to set the correct width, height, and 
frame rate.)  You might find "openRTSP" simpler to deal with than VLC 
(which seems like overkill here, if you're not doing any encoding, 
decoding or transcoding).
