What Kind of Results Can I Expect from InVideo?
There are two key areas for getting the best results from InVideo. The first is the amount of movement in the image. The software is intelligent enough to send only the portions of the picture that have changed since the last picture. If there is more change, more data must be sent, slowing down the video frame rate.

The second key area is the fluctuating data transfer rate and the somewhat quirky nature of the Internet. Of course, the faster the connection, the better. But if you've spent any time on the World Wide Web, you may have noticed that due to traffic, the Internet runs slower during busier times of the day. Factors that affect data rates are:

• The speed of your connection to the Internet
• The speed of your Internet service provider's connection to the Internet
• The speed of the Internet, i.e., how many other people there are using the Internet
