No, but I'll add an option to limitate it.

1 is best quality, 31 is bad quality, but it uses less bandwidth.

2 is the best settings, it means that the image will not be blocky
because it will transmit all blocks except 2 static blocks .

People reported that it is needed to install the last version of the

GnomeMeeting.

It means that Netmeeting doesn't support it, I guess.
At least if preview works in large mode on GM's side.

Yes, used bandwidth is only an indication for gatekeepers.
I'll move that option in 0.12 and add an option to limit the bandwidth
that is used by video.
