I gave up on VLC. It's great for some things, but for others it's just too hard. I'm now using Handbrake to convert all my DVDs and TiVo MPGs to MP4 for viewing on my cell.

I've only experimented with WiFi. I hope to use 3G, but I felt that given the problems I was having that sticking with WiFi until I got it working was wise. I can successfully stream to the phone when I use the VLC Player/GUI under Windows. The problem I'm having is replicating what the viewer does ...

Hi tcc, Thanks for helping with this problem. I really appreciate it! I'm using the built-in Android video player that comes with Android 2.2 on the T-Mobile Vibrant (Samsung Galaxy S).

Thank you so much!!! You are so kind for responding. This is exactly what I want to do. It will take some time for me to get this working, but I'll figure it out.

THANK YOU!

Hi, I have a webcam connected to my laptop. I'm using RTSP H.264/AAC (TS) to stream to my Android phone. VLC uses lots of CPU to stream. I assume it's constantly encoding the webcam video to H.264. I want the encoding to only start when my client (phone) connects. I don't want it otherwise encoding ...
