I have successfully streamed both Mpeg files and a DVD using VLC 0.8.2 and straight UDP. I am now trying to stream a USB webcam. If I use the wizard the log on the receiving VLC machine reports garbage at input. If I use the command line I get a local display but nothing is sent to the network.
Any suggestions guys?

HI to all........
I have read that post; but I don't know what's the problem; I have a USB webcam, my SO is linux suse 9.3, and it works very well with my webcam and VLC.... I can stream, of course you have to install the modules to manage your webcam like V4L and compile some package with this option like ffmpeg (--enable-v4l)....all works very well....
ps .....sorry form my english

I solved the problem last week. If u can not find Capture divice in your VLC, u should recompile your vlc.
./configure --enable-v4l --enable-wxwindows
r u ok ?

The only thing you have to do is open a capture dispositive, selec ur cam and then tick output stream and click options... then you only have to select the UDP/RTP option and write the ip of you r "client" PC.
In the clent: select stream input and activate th UDP option.
I only have problems when I try the same with a PDA as client ... I think is a format problem. Any suggestion?
