Using VLC with Directshow

I have a professional project which is using multiple instances of VLC to show 16 video camera outputs streamed in MPEG4 format on a videowall.
The problem is that the videowall graphics card uses directshow to render the video. I believe that the current version of VLC des not support directshow.
This results in poor playback and extremely inefficient use of the PC resources.

I searched on the web and found the sensoray bridge for directshow on VLC.( http://www.sensoray.com/support/videoLan.htm ) I don't have the necessary skills to implement this. I'm not even sure it's the solution to the problem.
Is there anyone out there who could help?
Thanks
Matt

VLC can open DirectShow devices. But VLC cannot render normal media files by using DirectShow playback chain.
