[vlc] how to read the mp4 stream from Linksys IP camera

[rakoto,,,]

Does anyone have ever tried to read the video stream from a linksys IP 
camera (like WVC11b or WVC45g)? 

I captured the http frames send by the linksys software to the camera and I 
received this:
 --- a call to a file named /util/util2.cgi that send the mac address and the 
network name of the camera
 --- then the following
"

I tried to read the file video.asf with vlc but received the following
