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.

New changes in RDP 8 or 8.1 (you need matching client and server for these features to work) - can't remember which - make streaming videos in a browser a lot easier. I am not sure about CAD performance, but if I remember correctly, MSTSC can now hook up directly to the GPU on the server side and have more throughput without encoding each image individually.
