To be honest, I'm not certain that increasing the pipe's buffering 
will fix your problem.  However, I think it's something that you 
should try first.

Yes, it should, but the 'named pipe' solution is much easier, so you 
should try to get that working first.

(This is all assuming, of course, that your CPU+encoder is powerful 
enough to generate H.263 frames in 'real time'.  If that's not true, 
then you're screwed no matter what :-)
