Getting the highest quality in screen sharing!
In the Screen Sharing View menu, there are two possibilities, "Adaptive Quality" or "Full Quality". I was on Adaptive Quality by default and I left it there for a while because it means that it is supposed to adapt to the quantity of bandwidth available. The quality of the image I was getting was far from perfect however. I assume it was because my network was not fast enough. After a while, I took the time of trying "Full Quality". The improvement was incredible. Best of all, on a fast wireless n network like I have, there was no lag! So if you are on a fast network, switching to Full Quality is a great improvement.

Where is the menu you are referencing?
It is in the screen sharing application.
does the same thing work in iChat?
Is this a new Leopard thing? I don't have "Screen sharing" .. or have any idea why I'd use it.
It's in the new version of iChat in Leopard. I still can't find the preferences menu. Is it when u r actually sharing a screen or is it in system preferences?
You can share your own screen again...It's meaningless, but funny.
It works like this: start screensharing and then, from within the shared screen, start screensharing again (i.e. you go back to your own Mac and loop)... What you see a a tunnel of shared screens...
Curt-
You will find the Screen Sharing app in System/Library/CoreServices (Leopard only).
why is it that we cant hear their screen, I tried it but if you open up a file of music, etc, unless its speakers you can't hear it! is there anyway to fix this?
