    % vlc -vvv dvdold:/dev/dvd --sout udp:192.168.0.12 --ttl 12

- 192.168.0.42 is either :

  - the IP address of the machine you want to unicast to ;

  - or the DNS name the machine you want to unicast to ;

  - or a multicast IP address .

- 12 is the value of the TTL (Time To Live) of your IP packets (which means that the stream will be able to cross 11 routers) .

If you want to stream the DVD continuously, add the --loop option .
