I've tried most of the remote desktop solutions out there. NoMachine's NX, NX/FreeNX, Citrix ICA, etc.
They *all* suffer from less than perfect video over the net. Its a combination of bandwidth and cpu horsepower either of which can induce delay/jitter. Audio won't be as noticable as video because if you miss some bits of audio your ears/mind usually still can understand but miss some bits of video and its always noticable. There are quite a few solutions that are starting to appear though that will help. Red Hat has released to opensource the SPICE<http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Red-Hat-open-sources-Qumranet-SPICE-protocol-882801.html>software they got from QumranNet two years ago. There is also work being done with Neatx although its got key features that don't work yet (audio/printing for a couple). and there are a variety of other solutions starting to hit the market. Then there is the movement to HTML 5 with embedded video support which is going to change a lot of things for the better. If the video you need to view is web based then don't have the user launch a browser on the remote desktop machine but launch it locally.
