Is there a way to receive a stream with LVC on the follow format:

1. Windows with VLC recording webcam and transmiting
2. Linux with VLC receives and save as FLV format

if this is possible what i would have to have installed with VLC and how would the command line look like ?

so far i was using the follow command line to receive and re-transmit:
vlc -vvv udp:windows_machine_ip --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ps,dst=linux_ip:1935}'

2. This is not doable since there is no flv muxer in vlc

However since your destination is a linux box, use ffmpeg on the linux box and it will convert to .flv.... I am transcoding my movies with the following command string...

ffmpeg -i <source file> -ar 11025 -f flv -ab 32 -ac 1 -s 324x280 <dest file, or dest path and file>

perhaps that would help you...
