Here's a summary of the text:

1. The user is trying to set up VLC on Windows XP to stream video from an external source (likely a Canopus ADVC300) over a network connection.

2. They mention that they've successfully used other software like Windows Media Encoder and SageTV for similar tasks, but this is their first attempt with VLC.

3. The user notes that the main issue seems to be related to how different video and audio formats can be muxed (combined or wrapped) when streaming from an external source using VLC.

4. They provide a table showing which video and audio formats are supported by VLC as output, along with some restrictions on how these formats can be used depending on the specific output method being employed (e.g., HTTP, UDP).

5. The user also mentions that they've already resolved any firewall or port forwarding issues related to streaming.

6. They conclude by apologizing if this post was placed in an incorrect section and suggest duplicating it elsewhere for better visibility since their previous attempt may not have been successful.
