I thought, that it could work something like this:

To aquire the stream from the capture card (copy and paste from: 
http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch10.html#id299086)

   % vlc -vvv --color
   pvr:/dev/video0:norm=secam:size=720x576:frequency=576250:
   bitrate=3000000:maxbitrate=4000000 --cr-average 1000 --sout
   udp:192.168.0.42 --ttl 12

And the broadcast Machine will be:

   vlc -vvv udp:@239.255.12.42
   --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}:
   standard{access=http,mux=ogg,url=server.example.org:8080}'

239.255.12.42 will be routed to the machine 192.168.0.42
the firewall will also be configured, that only the broadcast Machine 
will be allowed to access.

All this is just some idea how I think this could work, I am already 
quite positive that it is possible.

Now I will have to setup VLC and start playing around and test quality 
and stability. I will get back to the list with more practical 
experience and more questions then.

You know, if my idea is pointing into the right direction, or do I have 
some serious mistake in my understanding?

BTW, I have just found some old thread of you, getting help from the 
list for the LinuxTag 2004.

Do you have any platform preferences or recommendationes? I am 
experienced in linux and windows aswell, Mac i don´t have access to.

Hannes
