 Quality/speed and minimum quality/speed can be set via the command line or via the tray menu.
 Note that even when using the x264 encoding, some small screen updates may get sent as png or rgb24 to save time/bandwidth (not encoding a full frame).

+[[BR]]
+Recent versions of x264 support {{{RGB}}} pixels directly as input, which removes the need for a [/wiki/CSC CSC] step on the server, and the [/wiki/ClientRendering/OpenGL OpenGL rendering] in the client also handles {{{RGB}}} data directly - which allows for an even faster forwarding of pixels to the client's screen.
+`Note: at lower quality settings, either automatically or manually selected, a [/wiki/CSC CSC] step may be introduced to reduce bandwidth.

+== Installation ==
+
+When building xpra from source, {{{x264}}} is included by default.
+
+For encoding support (server), you only need the {{{x264}}} library and headers installed.
+
+For decoding support (client), you need the [http://www.ffmpeg.org/ ffmpeg] or [http://libav.org/ libav] library and headers installed.
+`Please note that the {{{libav}}} fork of ffmpeg requires a number of [/browser/xpra/trunk/src/patches patches] to be applied to the source for compatibility - failure to apply them will result in crashes.`
