I am not at all happy with using ARD to share screens while showing a

nearly as good as the teacher screen (it's jerky), maybe due to

would work better? Thanks.

Yeah, that's just too much data to push around like that. I guess you
could create set the movies to autoplay and then push them out to /
tmp on the clients. That's still a bunch of data though and they
probably will all start playing at different times, causing the
teacher to run screaming from the room, hands clamped over their
ears, from the noise. :)
QuickTime or Darwin Streaming Server (you use Darwin if you want to
install
on Mac OS X (not) Server. It's the same package with a different
name.)
I find its rather good at streaming QuickTime.
FWIW, if anyone hasn't taken a look at the QTSS Publisher since the
last admin tools you should. It's not a steaming pile anymore and
actually works quite nicely. Easy enough to the point that teachers
could use it to build sites with audio or video that a student could
access with a browser.
