When starting up cocoa (ICC), do the following:
* Run ivtvctl to set the desired WinTV options (rather than setting
  these from within VLC):

  ivtvctl --set-codec-params=bitrate_mode=[0|1]    (0=variable, 1=constant)
  ivtvctl --set-codec-params=bitrate=1000000       (bits per sec)
  ivtvctl --set-codec-params=bitrate_peak=2000000  (bits per sec, 
                                                   must be > bitrate)
  ivtvctl --set-codec-params=framerate=[0|1]       (0=30 (NTSC), 1=25 (PAL))
  ivtvctl --set-codec-params=stream_type=2         (2=MPEG1)
 
  ivtvctl -C                                       lists current codec settings

  ivtvctl --set-format=width=320,height=240        (pixels)
  ivtvctl -F                                       lists current format

* Run VLC to stream the video (with the option of software transcoding):

OPTION 1 (NO TRANSCODING):
vlc --no-audio --ttl=64  pvr:// :pvr-device="/dev/video0" :pvr-norm=0 :pvr-frequency=-1 :pvr-bitrate=-1 --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=mpeg1}'

OPTION 2 (WITH TRANSCODING):
vlc --no-audio --ttl=64  pvr:// :pvr-device="/dev/video0" :pvr-norm=0 :pvr-frequency=-1 :pvr-bitrate=-1 --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=256,deinterlace}:standard{access=http,mux=mpeg1,name="APOLLO STV Output"}'

Transcoding seems to eat up ~15% CPU on cocoa.
