Under Unix/Linux, you must have write access to the device corresponding to your DVD drive. For that, you should be in the disk or cdrom group (look at the permissions in /dev). If you're not, add yourself to the group:
# adduser your_login disk_or_cdrom
and then restart your session.
% vlc -vvv dvdsimple:/dev/dvd --sout udp:192.168.0.12 --ttl 12
where:
/dev/dvd is the name of your DVD drive (put D: under Windows if D is the letter of your DVD drive) or the directory where you copied your DVD ,
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.
This is possible under GNU/Linux only.
% vls -vv -d udp:192.168.0.42 dvd:/dev/dvd --ttl 12
