Because those heuristics cover a wide range of possibilities, in many cases they may not be optimal (ie: local connections over mmap behave very differently from a remote connection over 3G or wifi: #2037). 12 12 13 13 It is often possible to obtain better performance and user experience by configuring the system to be better tuned for its environment and user demands. … … 26 26 These hints can be specified using configuration files for matching various window attributes(#1950), or matching more global desktop application categories (#1956). Applications can also set a window property directly to override this (#2023). 27 27 28 The hints are used to select the picture encoding most appropriate for the type of content to be compressed (#1952), though applications may choose to bypass this logic and set the picture encoding explicitly (#2086) . The hints are also used to tune speed / quality / framerate (#2061), or to disable video mode (#2100).28 The hints are used to select the picture encoding most appropriate for the type of content to be compressed (#1952), though applications may choose to bypass this logic and set the picture encoding explicitly (#2086) and / or set the quality and speed directly (#2077). The hints are also used to tune speed / quality / framerate (#2061, #1135), or to disable video mode (#2100). 29 29 30 The hints are also passed on to the picture encoders themselves for their own internal tuning (#1699, #2061 ).30 The hints are also passed on to the picture encoders themselves for their own internal tuning (#1699, #2061, #1257, #800). 31 31 }}} 32 32 33 34 {{{#!div class="box" 35 == Video Region == 36 37 Video compression offers major bandwidth savings and performance improvements over regular picture compression, but these benefits come at a cost: if the region to encode as video is not detected properly then the non-video areas will suffer from: visual degradation, delays, slow auto-refresh, etc 38 It is therefore essential to correctly detect which part of a window needs to be encoded using video compression. 39 Screen updates using video compression are also the only areas that support AV-sync (#835). 40 41 The heuristics will try very hard to identify the video region correctly (#410, #967), using any hints it can use to improve its chances of success (ie: #2113). 42 43 But if at all possible, it is best to use an API to set the video region explicitly (#1060, #1401) and to set exclusion zones so we can ignore the window scrollbars (#1295). 44 45 46 See also: #2022, #2094, #1951, #999, #1014, #596 33 47 }}}
