I'll try that but what confuses me is that sometimes I can view the video. This will happen at the most random of times. For instance one
day I won't be able to, but the next day I will even though nothing has been changed on the machine. I thought perhaps it was a machine
load issue, or maybe a bandwidth issue but I'll look into the acceleration settings as well

Subject: media with vnc
Hello,
I've been trying to figure out a solution to an interesting problem I
have with vnc. I'm using hte latest with the server on a windows
machine and viewer on linux. Sometimes when I'm connected, i can load a
movie file into like windows media player, play it and see the movie.
Granted it is slowed, updates only every second or so but I can at least
see what's going on. Other times I try to do the same thing but only
get a black screen inside of media player no matter what i do, even
though i know the movie is playing. This symptom appears in a lot of
media programs such as tmpgenc even. I've tried playing with settings
on the server but am not sure what the problem is. Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Brian
Same as the answer to "JES" earlier today. If the app sends data directly
to the video card VNC can't grab the updates. DirectX programs are one
example of this.
You might try backing down the video card acceleration settings, but expect
performance on the local machine to suffer.
