[vlc] Re: streaming IEEE1394 on a MacOSX

[Derk-Jan Hartman]

Hi there,

Well if you are lucky, then there is a device in /dev that represent 
the firewire device.
you might be able to use the following commandline in the OSX Terminal:
cat /dev/devicename | ./VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC --sout udp:  (or 
however you want to stream)

So if it is possible then it's like this.
The OS X version doesn't have support yet for the more general 
streaming API's which all programs on OSX use for accessing Video 
devices.

But i think you are better off with either VLC for windows (cvs 
development version) or the linux one.
Be sure to let us know about your results. We'd love to hear about your 
results, since i think this is something very few people have tried to 
do so far.

You might try the chat:

If you have any more questions
