TightVNC vs Regular

[Glenn Mabbutt]

TightVNC actually is based on the code from the TridiaVNC 1.4 distribution
of VNC (http://www.tridiavnc.com), and then integrates "tight encoding",
libjpeg compression, and other goodies.

The tight encoding option is optimal for VNC over low-speed connections such
as dial up.

However, determining the ideal arrangement of options for your needs really
requires individual testing - it's going to depend on things like the speed
of the machine you're connecting to, the graphical complexity of the desktop
on the machine you're connecting to, etc.

Subject: TightVNC vs Regular


Hi, I'm new to the VNC scene.  I just downloaded "regular" VNC 3.3.3r9.
However, I've now noticed this discussion regarding TightVNC

What has been the experiences of people who have used both products?

What is the relative stability issues?

Should I even consider VNC 3.3.3.r9 when TightVNC is reportable faster?

In short I'd like to pick the appropriate product first.
Performance over 56/64k is important
Stability on windows only platforms:  Win2000, WinNT 4.0, win9x.
Free is of course a major benefit :).

Are these two separate products now, with 2 separate development paths
or does TightVNC take regular and integrate their "tight" protocal?

Long list of questions,

Thanks in advance
