[vlc] how to stream a live video with windows

[Valery Roche]

Hi list,

I have tested the streaming functionnalities of vlc by http, unicast and 
multicast : it's perfect !!

But I have another need : here at University we need to stream some 
videos that we acquire "live" from a Windows box. The goal is to stream 
this video in multicast to many computers in the same room.
I can't use Linux because the teacher need to use NetOpSchool to control 
the student's computers. I read that VLC is unable to acquire a live 
flux within windows.

So I had an idea : I could acquire the source with VirtualDub (it seems 
this soft writes the file in live on the HD), and then read this file 
with vlc to stream it on the private VLAN. I made tests, but that's not 
very good. Does anyone have an idea ?

If it works, this is a solution that can be compared to some commercial, 
from Tandberg for example, but completely free !!

And it'll be better if it could work with the Pinnacle DV500.

Thanks in advance,
Valéry

P.S. I searched the archives, but found nothing about my problem, except 
"use Linux". I'd like to use it but I can't in this context.
