I suspect you are right on the basis that older versions of Media Player (WIN32) cannot play ASF streams produced by VLC either, versions >9.0 work fine. I also tried many times myself and couldn't get it to work. BTW axzilla is not correct, WMP Mobile can play MSMPEG4 v3 but it must be encapsulated in an ASF container, it's AVI that is not supported. The closest I've seen to a spec for WMP10 Mobile that is aimed at end-users is
this.

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here and assume that you are running the Windows version of VLC rather than the Linux version, in which case the copy you have already contains Web Interface support.
The easiest way to enable the web interface is to go into Preferences->General Settings->Interface and enter
http in the box labelled
Extra interface modules. Click save, then restart VLC now if you open a web browser and go to
http://localhost:8080 you should see the page produced by VLC. Although this is cool I get the feeling it's not really what you want to know.
Give these settings a try and see what shakes loose. In the
Stream Output dialog check
HTTP but don't enter any address, set the port to whatever you like, leave
Play Locally turned off as it slows transcoding/streaming down. For
Encapsulation Method try
Ogg or
MPEG PS either should work, turn transcoding on and use
mp4v,
256,
0.5 to start off with for video, and
vorb,
64,
2 for audio. Hit OK, start up Betaplayer and connect to
http://[your PC's IP address]:1234 it should start playing within a few seconds. Once it works you can start messing around with different bitrates, scaling values etc. but hopefully this should get you started.
P.S. Don't bother with the Pocket PC version of VLC, it does not have any of the opimisations that Betaplayer does and contains a lot of bugs.
