Gak. OK, I guess maybe we need to design one. I will have some funding for this after the first of the year, and the initial stage of my efforts will be to craft a low-level mock-up of the encoder using libx264, so I can run it through the TurboVNC Benchmark Tools and get a feel for exactly where H.264 is beneficial relative to the existing Turbo encoding methods. After I go through that process, I should be able to at least speak intelligently regarding what a hypothetical H.264 RFB extension should look like. Our interest at the moment is not in providing an automated way of switching between multiple encodings but rather to see if H.264 could provide generally a better overall solution for low-speed networks. I suspect that, for some applications that generate images with a low number of unique colors, the existing approach might work better, but that's why I need to do the low-level tests. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
