Dear Måns Rullgård,
Thank you for your prompt answer. In my case vlc can not read directly 
from serial port. That is because the data coming from this port is not  
"raw" TS packets, I have to make some controlling messages... to obtain 
the TS stream itself.
My enviroment is Windows so I wonder whether I can do something like a 
pipe in Linux or not ??
I am looking forward for your helps
THank you.
