Please how to reflect DV capture mp4 to dss

[zimbot]

Friends,

I have a DSS that is operational in all repects - in fact I am able to stream via Apple Broadcaster.
i wish to be able to stream live via VLC on a ubuntu 8.04 machine.

when I attempt the cmd of
vlc -vvv v4l2:///dev//dv1394/0:width=128:height=96:adev=hw.1,0:samplerate=32000 --sout '#transcode{venc=ffmpeg{keyint=1},vcodec=mp4v,vb=100k,acodec=mp4a,fps=10,ab=8k,channels=1,samplerate=16000}:rtp{mp4a-latm,dst=192.168.200.204,port-audio=20000,port-video=20002,ttl=127,name=6_1,sdp=file:///home/jshupert/movies/6_1.sdp}'

I get an error of

Unable to open 'v4l2:///dev//dv1394/0:width=128:height=96:adev=hw.1,0:samplerate=32000'

I think it is the 'v4l2:///dev//dv1394/0

I did a
mknod -m 666 /dev/dv1394/0 c 171 32

and I indeed have a /dev/dv1394/0

I found this on Google
"
http://streaming411.com/wiki/Encoding_live_streams
cat /home/video/pal_dv_in0 > /tmp/0.dv> # press ctrl-c in some seconds
ls -als /tmp/0.dv
and if /tmp/0.dv is not zero size you are good

i tried
cat /dev/dv1394/0 > /tmp/0.dv
/tmp/o.dv -was created - it was zero size. I think i do not understand the whole
make a /dev and on like that?

so how can I encode from firewire w VLC - make the sdp and move it to my dss --- and be streaming?

could someone give me the steps that -- should work?

thanks in advance!
