Displaying Video over Windows VNC

[Alex Pelts]

Video is displayed on directx surface which is not picked up by free 
version of vnc. If you use personal/enterprise edition of vnc with 
mirror driver you will get video. IMHO, is it a bad idea, as it takes a 
lot of cpu/bandwidth. You will be better off using something like vlc to 
stream video over the network.

Alex
