I may be misunderstanding, but you want to direct the video feed through 
an SSH tunnel?  SSH encryption is computationally expensive, so it would 
be better to render directly to the remote X server.  Beyond that, 
uncompressed video is massive.  There is not much point to even trying 
over 10/100.  Gigabit should be able to handle SD resolutions, but 
recorded 720p is too high framerate to have a chance of streaming.
