Stream Video with VLC

Stream Video with VLC


The procedure is the exactly same as MP3 except one point: in the Stream Output window, in the profile section, you need to select MPEG-TS.
If you can only hear the sound, try to select MPEG-4 from the Video Codec tag in the profile section.
Because of the big size of video files, wireless internet connection leads to choppy video and is thus not recommended. Use network cable.
