[vlc] Re: vlc options on a windows box

[CUTMAN ~CW~]

Try opening vlc manually and open the dialog to load a file, then go futher 
into the streaming settings(check-mark and button at the bottom).  Within 
that dialog you can check and uncheck various opens and they will be posted 
in the edit box along the top of the window.  I would suggest you take a 
look at this because it shows the proper structuring of alot of these 
variations.

But for example here's a similar line like you might use:
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,vb=1024,scale=1}:duplicate{dst=display,dst=std{access=http,mux=ts,url=127.0.0.1:5150}}
