Has anyone ever run xawtv or any video grabber over VNC?

Putting aside why one would want to do this, I'd rather concentrate on the technical issue involved.

Loading 'xawtv -nogl' gives me the following errors and a completely black screen in xawtv:

Xlib: extension "XVideo" missing on display ":1.0",
Xlib: extension "XVideo" missing on display ":1.0",

Is it impossible to run it over VNC even over a LAN? I don't need quality, just to be able to see the section that I want to capture to a file. I suspect that VNC runs X with its own settings ( it didn't look at my existing XF86Config nor ~/.xinitrc )

If anyone successfully ran a video grabber over another remote graphical interface, I'm all ears.
