would like to do some remote video editing with pandora. shoot the stuff using a camcorder, upload via wi-fi(from pandora) to my computer, and use vnc to edit the videos, and then re-download onto my pandora for viewing. plenty of other great stuff for vnc i'm sure, but that's what i would use it for. anyone know if it's possible?

I'm confused at how ssh works, is it just pulling the application off of the server, and running it on the client, or is it running on the server, and then forwarding the graphics a bit more efficiently, or is it something in between?
The main thing I'm looking at is running Windows in a Virtual Machine, and ssh-ing that to the Pandora? Would that work?

I don't know, but when I googled "ssh virtual machine" the only results I got where about sshing from a virtual machine, not sshing the virtual machine itself.
But if that does work, then that's awesome, because there are some WINE-not-compatible (and x86 anyways) programs that I need to run portably, and I thought I was going to have to buy a laptop as well.

Already discussed. Definitely possible and vnc client is already in the repo.

What OS do you have on your desktop?
Have they updated VNC's video protocols yet? It used to be horrible updating the screen as it had to poll updates *shudder*. I can't imagine doing any detailed video editing over it. Would be interesting to hear how you find it

I'm not sure if you can use ssh -X to connect to a Windows system, since it is X forwarding, and Windows doesn't use an X server.
But VNC should work fine.

The iphone can do it so surely the Pandora can

It's easier to use the rdesktop proto in this case.Aninhumer said:

There's always the possibility of installing an X server on the Windows machine. Some alternatives:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/
Worth giving it a shot IMHO.

AFAIK X-server on windows is used in the reverse way: when you need to run on windows machine a remote X-client through ssh-forwarding. And it won't help you to run windows apps remotely on your UNIX machine.joseluisjazz said:

Well some of the servers can hook in to the mirage driver which only polls the section of the screen that changes. Ive used it with tightvnc and it makes a huge difference. But using it to edit a video umm maybe it would work out if the host box is on the same network, otherwise its gona be slow and shitty.

Virtualbox itself has a remote desktop(rdp) server built in, so that's worth trying. Probably not too bad over LAN. I just wouldn't bother considering this over the internet. It would be way to choppy and delayed.
Otherwise, VNC itself should work to the pandora or from the pandora. I messed with a VNC server on the DS and it worked passably OK... though not particularly spectacular. The pandora should have the processing power needed to do it, though.
