Does anyone have any thoughts on what is the most effective way to
transmit still image video/pictures across a network, i.e. what is
the most effective method of compression, etc. I have heard of DVI,
but my impression is that it's designed for full motion video and
requires extra hardware, which may (or may not?) be overkill for this
situation. I would be interested in hearing about any other compression
techniques, both hardware and software, and about what standards exist
in this field. If I get enough interesting responses, I'll summarize to
the net.
