Have you been able to install VLC? There appears to be dependancy problems istalling the packages. I tried for a few hours yesterday but libcdio is out of sync with the rest of the packages or some of the packages have messed up spec files. The packages are looking for libcdio.so.0 but libcdio.so is what gets installed. I haven't had time to try and build from all the sources yet. I am looking into building a video surveillance system and need it to be able to stream video to multiple platforms. Using VLC with video capture cards is the direction I'm heading toward. I have installed EverFocus and Misubishi DVRs but they both have poor remote monitoring and configuration abilities.
