You post in vls-devel at videolan.org. The VLS is the VideoLAN Server and aims at
broadcasting mpeg video streams over an IP based LAN.

If your purpose is just to play DVDs on a linux box I suggest you to post
in vlc at videolan.org (VLC is the VideoLAN Client).

If your purpose is to broadcast some mpeg streams over a IP based LAN it's a
little bit more complicated. Could you please explain precisely what type of
broadcasting you want to perform ?
