so its just down to getting the video,whatever that might be, in a form to stream,realtime record, and push it out the door to your LAN and WAN remote connected client video players YES

you do have more than one PC device on a LAN were you are dont you to test this?

basics:

get a copy of VLC, an Mpeg2 video file of some sort.

you can OC use cli/shell commands to start VLC and feed it all the options your about to do from the VLC gui, but i cant be bothered to look up the syntax right now..... and using the GUI for most average people is easyer anyway for one off tests etc...

start VLC,
file/wizard,
next,
choose,
file/browse,
pick an Mpeg video file, but dont click next yet,
click caching for the default 300, or make it higher if need be later,
OK,
next,
select RTP MultiCast,and enter 224.0.0.1 (or any other MC IP address you want to push the video over the LAN),
Next,
Mpeg TS is already selected (thats a good container, dont need to wory about containers right now, but all DVB-* use it, so its GOOD, and you can do lots with it if you can find the tools, but no matter for now OK),
Next,

TTL, (set it to say 30, because we might need it for the multicast tunneled web part later i think......, but you know more about that MAN networking part than me ),
click SAP Anounce and enter canyouseemeoverthere ,
finish.

your single video is right now streaming over Multicast to any LAN connected devices that can now play it.

on another LAN connected PC....,start another VLC, (or MPC, or MS media player, or Mplayer if your using a non MS OS, whatever ,you get the idea).

click view/playlist,and you should see that canyouseemeoverthere multicast stream announcment,
just click it to play it, done.......

from there ,you just need to take the other points iv said about feeding your webcams into the VLC as your feed, instead of that static Mpeg file you just streamed over multicast, Yes?

and from there, add in the java MC tunnel, to also see that LAN Multicast video stream from any PC on your remote web connection, back to your home:224.0.0.1, is that any clearer?

incase its not clear, you are not feeding that anologue cam you pointed to, into a router, your instead,feeding a cheap analogue TV card (£15 or so now)with that cam's Anologue output,directly to the composit input of that Tv card....

your Tv PC is then encoding that anologue composit video and putting out that encode as a digital content that has replaced that static Mpeg video file?, Yes
