Use VLM to multiple transcode Panasonic WV-SW598 streams

Well, I've been unsuccessful getting a Panasonic WV-SW598 multicast stream into WOWZA because WOWZA cannot accept the multicast RTSP stream in its native format (because WOWZA cannot "Force multicast RTP via RTSP" like ffmpeg and VLC can).

So can anyone assist me in getting the correct VLC command line syntax to take the multicast stream from the camera (setting the "Force multicast RTP via RTSP" on) and transcoding to a unicast RTP stream that WOWZA can ingest (does not require the "Force multicast RTP via RTSP" to be enabled to display)?

Once again, I can successfully play the multicast Panasonic WV-SW598 camera stream via the VLC GUI using the rtsp syntax "rtsp://10.52.161.21:554/MediaInput/h264/stream_1" but the VLC RTP/RTSP advanced preference "Force multicast RTP via RTSP" must be enabled.

My goal is to create a VLM configuration file that will allow me to define multiple camera stream transcodes so if anyone wants to bypass the vlc command line syntax and just give the VLM configuration file syntax that would be a huge help.
