A method for providing an encoded video application (3D APP; 2DAPP) from a server (SERVER) to a respective client (CLIENT1,...,CLIENTN) user via a communications link, comprises steps of updating scenes pertaining to said video application (3DAPP; 2DAPP) at said server (SERVER), deriving therefrom a respective video stream (2Dvideo1,...2DvideoN) comprising a succession of respective 2D user-related viewpoints for said respective client (CLIENT1,...,CLIENTN), calculating at least one respective compression related parameter (ep2D_1,...,ep2D_N) from application object vertex information extracted from a subset of successive ones of said scenes pertaining to said video application (3DAPP; 2DAPP) at said server, using said respective compression related parameter (ep2D_1,...,ep2D_N) during subsequent encoding of said respective video stream (2Dvideo1,...2DvideoN), for thereby generating a respective encoded video stream (encoded2D video_1,...,encoded2DvideoN) for provision to said respective client user (CLIENT1,...,CLIENTN). A server adapted to perform this method is disclosed as well |
