Video compression on Pocket PC....

If you are short of time please feel free to skip the monologue and go
straight to the question at the bottom of the post :-)
In my search for a video compression library for the PPC I came across a
company named KTTech (www.kttech.com) who's boasts seem too good to be true.
I emailed the company asking for information but received no reply. I few
days later I phoned and left a voice mail. A few days later I still not
received a reply so I emailed again and said that so far I am not impressed
with their conduct, I would like to see a demo + I want pricing information,
and this is the last time I shall write. I received the following email
============
Thank you for your interest in KT-Tech. At present, we are licensing our C++
SDK to OEM's for integration into their applications. We charge enterprises
a negotiated per month fee for use of our SDK in development plus a royalty
stream based on distribution and market share of the developed application.
If you are interested in a non-exclusive license of our SDK, please supply
further details about your company, your application, identified market and
time estimate to first deployment/market.
============
To me this means
01: I pay a monthly fee to write my software
02: The customer pays a recurring fee per seat
03: The amount of the runtime license depends on
A: What the application is
B: The market share of the application
What a rip off! I wrote back to tell them that I found their pricing to be
extortionate, and that I have no idea if I am interested in their SDK or not
because I have no idea if it is any good or not. The reply I received was
simply
"From your response, it does not appear that there is anything further to
discuss."
I have just had the pleasure in writing back to tell him the name of the
multi-billion £ per annum turnover company I am developing the application
for and approximately how many employees this company has using Pocket PC's
that will have this software installed. I expect he is now "as sick as a
parrot" (whatever that means). I'd really advise against doing any business
with this company, and I strongly advise that you do not have any dealings
with them. Judging from comments on the web posted by people that have seen
their "keep your head still and just move your lips" demonstration I suspect
that they do not have the product they claim to have.
Anyway, now to my question! I really need to be able to generate a series
of bitmaps on a PPC and stream them as video to a remote PC, the bitrate
needs to be as low as possible and I need a minimum of 2 frames per second
(320x240) and hopefully more. If anyone can help I would *really*
appreciate it!
Thanks
Pete
