Hi!
I've been trying to capture the Desktop and stream it over wifi in real-time. The problem is that even when I play locally the captured video stream in real-time, playback is very choppy; playback seems to be around 2fps! Currently I'm using Windows XP; playback on Linux running on a VM is much smoother, but I need to capture video from Windows.
Settings used:
frame rate: 10fps - 24 fps
encapsulation: ASF
Video codec: MPEG4/Theora/divX3
Bitrate: 1200-2000kb/s
resolution: 512x384
Any combination of the above settings yielded the same results!
Hardware resources are not an issue (I'm using a high-end PC, and CPU usage is very low). Any ideas? Can I even hope for smooth streaming of a windows desktop?
