if you're looking for realtime video, streaming is your only option. Windows Media Player for smart devices is capable of playing streams. you'll need something to generate the stream on the PC to begin with, whether that's third party software or something you put together in DirectX.

if, on the other hand, you're looking to send video snippets, or stillframes, you can use FTP to grab them from the desktop, or create a web service on the desktop to serve them to the smart device ... or even create a simple dynamic website which you browse with the device and download the snippets or frames.
