It's not generally possible because with VNC it has to stream the entire contents of the screen, which updates 20 times per second of more for video, in addition to the fact that most video is rendered using overlay, which isn't transmitted at all over VNC. Remote desktop will transmit the video, but definitely not smoothly. You'd be much better off following floppyman's suggestion and streaming the actual file and instead of the raw video.
