Is it possible to stream my favourite DVD to my buddy?
Generally spoken: Yes, it is possible to playback the 400MB-MP4-Macworld-Keynote.mov with ShowMacster, and you are allowed to define your complete 30″ Cinema Display for life screen capture, but be aware that this will give your CPU a hard time. With the present code, capturing a large area of your screen, resize it to the native iChat transmission resolution and compress it into the right format eats up CPU time rapidly. This is also true for the playback of huge QuickTime movies or weird compression formats (e.g. MPEG2 or DivX, through additional codecs). The idea behind ShowMacster was to playback short (at its best special prepared) movie clips. So, at least in a first step (first major revision), it should be handled this way.
