Yea, uncompressed video won't work. But there are plenty of compression techniques out there like MPEG2, Divx, MPEG4, h.264, or the 20 something codecs that come with Quicktime. The one that uses the most CPU is h.264 and I don't think my G5 can keep up with that.

A MPEG4 stream used keyframes every second or so (divide by 30) and b or i frames in between which are hardly anything at all.

I streamed 640x480 at 300K/s from my G5 to my 400Mhz Pismo and it looked just fine.
