Codec/options with multicast screen:// (speed lacking)

I am starting a new thread because this is a new question.

In my last thread I wanted to know how to show my current desktop via multicast:
viewtopic.php?p=84775#84775

That works now. I am using this command:

Code: Select all

vlc screen:// --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}: std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=224.0.0.0:1234}"
It does work, but it only shows a new image on the remote desktop every two or three minutes. That is not going to be fast enough.

I understand that UDP streaming requires you to use MPEG TS encapsulation.

I tried using mp2v, and mp1v, but mp4v is the only one that shows anything on the remote pc.

Is this the best codec? Are there any options to increase the thoughput?

Multicast video is working great for me, and I have 100m/bit switch.
