Ross -
So you're saying that Live doesn't do this and that's why you recommend 
using small frames. Currently, my camera uses bandwidth throttling and I 
have successfully been using it with VGA images up to 50KBytes in size at 
up to 30fps. Do you think Live would be able to achieve close to this 
performance streaming JPEG to Quicktime on a 44 MHZ embedded (ARM7) system 
where I currently do it using a custom RTP-like server.

I'm just trying to decide if I could replace my current JPEG server with 
Live or just use Live for the MPEG-4 server (for that, any level of 
performance will be acceptable).
