I work with win32 nightlies - vlc-0.8.5-test1-20060322-0132, WinXP SP2, IE 6.
I found several bugs:
1. I would like setup mosaic from webcams by http intf. There is a problem, that http intf crashes vlc on loading png fake file, while command line setup fake-file works.
2. VLC http mosaic intf is not usable with IE6 - add INPUT and set position in mosaic don´t work (IE
)3. There is a difference in parsing VLM scripts (I guess). I mentioned here, that VLM from GUI-wx (win32) is not able to load or run vlm batch scripts from a file (...C:\ in path...).
I run mosaic from command line by

vlc -I telnet --extraintf http:rc --vlm-conf mosaic3x2full.vlm

My mosaic VLM conf is

as I renamed FriendlyName thanks to garthb76 patch. I can watch video from webcam 1, 2 or 3. I can also use command line to open dshow device of required webcam

The message is "dshow://:dshow-vdev="MSI Star Cam 370i No1" succesfully opened", but it is not truth.
