Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Newbie: slow video

[Damien Sandras <dsandras seconix com>]

It is known that Netmeeting doesn't refresh the picture as often as
GnomeMeeting. However, you should get more frames per second.

Here are some questions :
* Have you enabled the Transmitted Frame per second limit ? (you
shouldn't)
* Your video quality should be set to 2 on LANs.
* Your Updated Blocks settings should be set to 99 on LANs.
* Are you sure that you are not using iptraf or something like that
limiting the traffic ?

Hope it helps,

The Mandrake system is using a Hauppauge WinTV card (bt848) and my camcorder for testing. The Windows system is running Netmeeting. The problem is that the transmission speed is very slow, less than 1fps, and it is blocky as can be. Even a slight movement causes the image to break up on the other end. Now, I know many things can cause this, but running on a LAN I should have plenty of bandwidth to play with.
