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.

Am I wrong in thinking that VLC can't compress to different codecs? I was poking around in the settings, and it looked like it gave me the choices of mpeg 1, 2, 4, h.263, h.264, etc.
I'll check out CyTV, and Mplayer. Thanks, all.
