You don't need to 'transfer' the video to VLC - instead, just play it 
from VLC.  VLC supports "rtsp://" URLs. so just open the stream 
directly from VLC.

(If, however, you are asking if "openRTSP" can be used as a 'RTSP 
proxy', then the answer is no.)

No.  The server (DSS in your case) would not support such a request 
from the client, because it could be used for a denial-of-service 
attack.
