Streaming Desktop Activity in LAN

[Cuong Tong]

Hi All,

I'd like to start up a personal coding for fun project which performs some
desktop movement recording/(then)streaming. Basically all i want to do is to
have few users on LAN to be able to see what I am doing on my desktop sort
of like MS Live meeting but this is for LAN.

I did some research around and found few articles which describe how to do
with with Direct Show, GDI and something else which I dont remember (on code
project) which ddin't work for me (didn't compile).

I also looked at camstudio on sourceforge but that also didn't compile.

I was thinking using the following approach

Use GDI to take a snapshot of the desktop every 100 milisecond, then encode
this into avi or wmf, then streaming this via UDP protocol.

I haven't tried the above out, but it seems a bit resource intensive to me.
So I am just wondering if anyone has any experiences on this or that you
could point me to some resources that I can dig a bit more into.

Any help is very much appreciated.
