VLC should be OK, though there can be problems with wireless streaming -- not all wireless cards and routers "play nice".
If at least the fixed server PC can be hard-wired to an access point (if that's what you have in your home -- a wireless router), that might be a good thing.
I would probably try with an ACK'd protocol, like mmsh, and make sure the caches (buffers) are set large to handle the vagaries of wirelesss a bit better.
If you are trying to stream a standard .mpg movie, you are probably OK trying to stream it as-is. If you are trying to stream a DVD, the bandwidth is probably too large for wireless, use Transcoding to knock it down to something like a DIV3 video at 1 Mbps, mp3 audio at 128K (per channel), with ASF encapsulation.
vlc C:\Movies\species1mbps.asf :sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:1234}}
is what I would use for a movie already encoded at a fairly low rate., on the server side.
I don't have a tuner, but a framegrabber. If I wanted to stream my framegrabber, I would use:
vlc dshow:// :dshow-vdev="Osprey-210 Video Device 1" :dshow-adev="Osprey-210 Audio Device 1" :dshow-size="320x240" :no-dshow-config :no-dshow-tuner :sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=1024,scale=1,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,url=:1234}}
vlc mmsh://server_IP_address:1234 :http-caching=3500 is what I would then try from the client.
If the above succeeds, you could try cutting caching down a bit
