vnc might not be capable to coop with the fast amount of changing
display data with the movie playback. For what its worth:
- unix based vnc servers just receive the display changes and try to
forward them all. The problem here is the 'all': if the origional
changes before the changes are passed on, the data will get congested.
- msWindows based vnc servers just scan for changes on the display by
peeking the display memory. Hence if the display is not using the
display memory, the changes are not seen by vncserver and not forwarded
to the vncviewer.

I bet this is a unix based variant.
