A Mac to PC USB webcam video chat solution
Authored by: sam_head on Jul 13, '05 07:09:33PM

Oh... and one other thing.

Expect frame rates of around 10 to 15 frames per second at around 100 to 150 kpbs. Video from the PC USB Web cam will never match the quality of iSight to iSight but it is often very usable. The best quality using AIM is as good as the worse with iChat.

Very rarely do I come across someone who just can't go Mac to AIM. It happens from time to time. These instances of extreme weirdness... I can talk to a PC person from my Mac but another Mac users cannot, though they can video conf with me and other PC users... are not the norm.

If the PC is delivering 1 fps then install the Live Video patch. (See the tutorial for a link) If you are delivering 1 fps see the tutorial for help.

AIM 5.9 to iChat does work with video conferencing. I swear. :-)
