The blocking call affects the video streaming. Specially if u r talking of MPEG streams, the buffer overflow/underflow will lead to display going crazy. Best is to follow a non blocking call, and design ur application accordingly.

AFAIK Skipping frames is decided by the encoder and decoder not in the transportation layer ( where data is actually xfered ). -nagaraj \(*_*)/ -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
