I have a similar project.  If you look at the patches submitted for the 
network recorder (http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/1787), you'll 
eventually find a readme file with text as follows:

Here are some examples of VLC usage to test the Network input. These 
examples are for the VLC player for Win32 but it should be the same for 
the linux version except for the paths. Any movie DVD can be used in 
these examples. The IP destination 192.168.1.100:1234 can be changed for 
your network configuration:

To stream the content of a DVD:
 > vlc.exe dvdsimple://D: 
:sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.100:1234}}

To stream the content of a DVD transcoded in realtime to h264 (fast cpu 
needed!)
:
 > vlc.exe dvdsimple://D: 
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=512,scale=0.5,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.100:1234}
}

To transcode a DVD to h264 in a file named test.ts and then stream it:
 > vlc.exe dvdsimple://D: 
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=512,scale=0.5,acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=ts,dst="test.ts"}}

 > vlc.exe "test.ts" 
:sout=#duplicate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.100:1234}}
