We automatically detect video areas (independent of the guest OS) and switch from lossless but (in case of video) bandwidth hungry RDP compression to lossy Motion JPEG compression for those areas -- all with runtime configurable quality/bandwidth. This requires support in the RDP client and today, we are only aware of the Microsoft RDP 7 client supporting this. I hope that it will find its way into rdesktop one day.<div><br></div><div>SPICE is built on combining lossless and lossy compression and I think with VirtualBox 3.2 things are turning out in our favor because of our unique approach (OS independent) combined with the very strong RDP features. RDP has so many sophisticated things like font download, icon caching etc. that other protocols don't have. And there are lots of clients out there.</div><div><br></div><div>Achim.</div><div><br><div><div>On May 21, 2010, at 07:48 , Huihong Luo wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">I was wondering whether slow video is a fundamental flaw of RDP, or it's just an implementation issue. Any ideas? as long as there is nothing inherent that prevents RDP from having fast video, then it's just a matter of time to make it faster.<br><br>--- On <b>Thu, 5/20/10, Geoff Nordli <i><<a href="mailto:geoffn@gnaa.net">geoffn@gnaa.net</a>></i></b> wrote:<br>
