Are there any remote desktop solutions that can be used for accessing applications that feature large animated graphics, in particular Sony Vegas Movie Studio?
I am aware of TurboVNC. However, that sends individual bitmaps, and the demos that I’ve seen where somewhat laggy. Interesting would be a remote desktop solution that transmits the desktop as a video stream.
Server / Client OS: Linux, Windows, OSX, etc. — all would be fine.
I also asked on the Gaming Anywhere forum. Perhaps their solution for games could be “abused” for productivity applications.
Interestingly OnLive, offers a desktop solution. However, the servers are on their side, and I’m not sure if those provide strong graphics. Still, it could be interesting to try out Onlive Desktop, just to see what’s possible.
Try RealVNC, there are quite a few fancy encoding options to play with. Disclosure: I used to work there.

@SaUce For applications with only basic graphics and texts, RDP is great. However, for video and shaded 3D graphics, it suffers from the same problem as VNC: Encoding every frame individually is extremely inefficient. – feklee – 2014-01-02T23:16:33.463
