Check out VLC - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

VLC is definitely what you want... The beauty about it is that it can read named pipes...:) So you can redirect your output from say a webcam to a pipe then have vlc read from the pipe, encode and stream. See section 7.2.3 of the pdf found here: http://www.opensource.or.ke/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=37&Itemid=26
