OT: VLC to stream videos

[RGould8 at aol.com]

Say, this is rather off-topic, but does anyone on this listserve have 
experience using VLC (from videolan.org) to stream program streams to settop box 
devices?   I need to see if I can combine multiple streams into a single Program 
Stream for transmission over Ethernet to an "MPEG sniffer" device.

I've successfully used VLC to stream videos, but I've never combined multiple 
streams into a single Program Stream before.   (Using MPEG2)
