uh, DVDs are specified with up to 14MBit/s, while 802.11b is specified
for 11MBit/s (raw, below Layer 1, thus not including Layer 1-3 overhead
plus (strong recommended!) WEP encryption/management overheader, plus
(even stronger recommended, as WEP security is terribly weak) IPsec
overhead in your home network), not accounting collisions and half
duplex issues.

Basically, you got no chance without transcoding it, and might not be
able to get something different than a stampsize or quarter-pal picture
across your network without artifacts with a reasonable framerate ..
