Stream Desktop with VLC

On the server computer, lauch VLC. Go to Media->streaming.
Go to Capture tag, select Desktop for Capture mode; pick up a right number for the frame rate.
Click Stream.
On the Stream Output page, check RTP, fill Address with the IP of the client computer.
In the Profile section, check MPEG-TS on Encapsulation tag; check video, select MPEG-4 ( or other codes, which have been installed on your computer) for Codec on Video codec tag; check Audio, select MP3 for Codec on Audio codec; click stream.

However, you cannot watch good video played on the desktop because the stream is produced in real time with compromised quality.
