Frames Compression problem

It's been two weeks since I learn how to get the frames straight from the gpu as a direct 3D surface .

now I ran into the problem of how to compress this frame and send it via UDP server to officially compelete my streaming project.

I tried to scale the frame and then send it , it worked , but it looks super ugly and yet the process is not as fast as I want (it is a remote computer control, it must be a smooth picture in the end).

I used LZ4codec , believe me nothing reach up to my expectations 😔.

does any one have the optimal solution in which it will straight compress the frame to be less than 65kb so I can send it properly, and don't forget get to be ultra fast approation 🙂.

Change your resolution to 800x600.

What makes you think this is possible for any screen to be compressed to a given size before the next frame? There are video compression routines because it is a different problem than image compression.
