Re-streaming a udp stream to rtp

Sorry for creating an account to post this but Im stuck and need some help. I have been trying to figure out if its possible to take a udp stream in and transcode/restream it in rtp with VLC. Right now I have Hauppauge HDPVR connected to a macbook, the program hdpvrcapture allows me to output the stream(only in udp) to any computer i want on my network. I can open the stream fine and it will play with no problems. Now I want to be able to take that stream transcode it and output an rtp stream for use with justin.tv.

The problem I am running into is every time I go to re-stream the video freezes or vlc will crash. If I output the stream to display locally It shows the first frame and then it stops. My message output looks like this:

Code: Select all

avccodec error: more than 5 seconds of late video -> dropping frame(computer too slow?)
....
VLC just keeps outputting that message.

Im not sure if what I am trying to do is even possible. I was under the impression that if VLC could open a file/stream than it could re-stream it. Is this not true? Are there settings that I need to tweak in order to get this to work? Any help would be great!
