Robert,

JPEG compression does a great job of exploiting spatial redundancy: 
Neighboring pixels in space tend to be similar in value.  However, as 
others have mentioned, to be efficient, you need to also exploit the 
temporal redundancy in the data:  Neighboring pixels in time also tend 
to be similar in value (even more so than across space).  Your best bet 
would be to use a video compression algorithm for this, one which 
ideally uses motion-compensated prediction to track objects (and moving 
objects) across time.

I know Malcolm Smith does video transmission with BCB--it might be worth 
dropping him a line to see if he has any advice regarding turnkey 
solutions (his contact info is available at http://www.mjfreelancing.com).

Best of luck,
