This is independent from SPICE, if the camera send compressed data
already SPICE will just
forward compressed data in whatever format is in USB.
If the camera supports MJPEG and YUV choose MJPEG, YUV is not
compressed (just a different color
space than RGB, often taking less bits but still not compressed).
