PcHelpWare versus UltraVNC

Post by redge »

PcHelpWare 1.0

- not compatible VNC at all.
- encrypted native TWF 256, disable encryption not possible.
- filetransfer by keyboard only (ctrl+alt+c and ctrl+c(copy) and ctrl+v (paste)
- speed faster than UltraVNC with dsmplugin
- speed without encryption could not be compared between UltraVNC (PcHelpware should be realtime without encryption)
- directX: Yes
- software OpenGL, yes
- GDI mode (disable directx) trough remote desktop, terminal server, Overlay not possible
- overlay (yes with driver_pchelware (winvnc video hook driver2)
- screen scaling a lot of better improved than UltraVNC
- image little bit fuzzy quality 32bit than UltraVNC 1.0.x
