There is a pre-build-time option to disable streaming support 
(./configure --disable-sout), but it is mainly aimed at light 
architectures, where the VLC must be kept relatively light.

In fact, it is possible to compile without streaming output on any 
architecture, particularly on Windows and Mac OS X, but it has to be 
done manually. We don't provide such percompiled binary versions.

I understand recompiling the VLC media player might not be an option, as 
it is a lengthy and complex task. As an alternative, you may consider 
removing the VLC media player's streaming modules. They can be found in 
the "plugins" subdirectory of directory where VLC is installed. Simply 
remove all files that begin with "libaccess_output_" and 
"libstream_out_". The streaming features will still appear in the 
menus, but they won't be usable anymore.

Sincerely,
