AVC Multicast Client

[MrWizard]

Here's what I want to do. I want to multicast a high-def H.264 video stream over my LAN. I can do that with VideoLAN. On the client side, I want to receive that broadcast and be able to decode using the DirectShow CoreAVC decoder.

At the moment, I can use VLC to receive and decode the broadcast, but it is using the internal H.264 decoder which is significantly slower than the new CoreAVC decoder. As such, I am looking for a way to either configure VLC to use the CoreAVC codec or find a video multicast client than can use DirectShow codecs.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Edit: Is MPlayer configurable in this way?

Edit2: Something like this, perhaps?

videocodec coreavc
info "CoreAVC"
status working
fourcc AVC1,H264,h264,X264,x264,VSSH
driver dshow
dll "CoreAVCDecoder.ax"
guid 0x083863F1, 0x70DE, 0x11D0, 0xBD, 0x40, 0x00, 0xA0, 0xC9, 0x11, 0xCE, 0x86
out YV12

Try MPC :P

LOL! It didn't occur to me that MPC might have that functionality. I'm not sure why... Thanks!
