Log out of AIM while in iChat video chat Apps
Well having a chat with a friend of mine, I discovered that you can log off (by choosing Offline from the Status bar) while you're having a video chat. This keeps the video chat active, but signs you off of AIM, so that nobody can message you during your chat.

This also works when voice chatting.

That's because iChat uses the AIM network for availability discovery and presence notification, but not to transmit data.

Once you know who's online using AIM (or Rendezvous), iChat uses SIP for connection signaling, and RTP and RTCP for audio and video transmissions.
