Start treaming a file in linux

[jed_co_za]

Hello
I am a newbie to this.

When I run this command
vlc /stream/1234.avi --sout #transcode {vcodec=h264,acodec=mp3,samplerate=44100}:std{access=http,dst=0.0.0.0:8083/stream.flv}

it returns with

VLC media player 1.1.11 The Luggage (revision exported)
vlc: unknown option or missing mandatory argument `--sout'
Try `vlc --help' for more information.

Any suggestions as what i am doing wrong?

You are not passing the required parameter to --sout. # is the comment marker in Linux shell.
