What's the best software for video conferencing when you want to connect to someone who's on a PC. I have a iSight, but i want to able to talk to my girlfriend (she doens't have a mac obviously) . Any suggestions would be appreciated. 🙂

have her buy a mac

I promise she'll be a happier person!!



Try AIM, that's probably the best messenger for cross platfrom video conferencing because I don't think that iChat will play nice AIMs video chat.

You might want to try these. I personally haven't use them but let me know if you do. I'm sure i'll get around to it.

eclipse525 : thanks for the help i'll try them out once i get the G5!

Stoid: I don't think that AIM has video on it, or I wouldn't have posted, i looked into it a bit and didn't find anything... maybe theres a new build that has it, that i don't now about?

no prob.

yeah the ' AIM/iChat AV ' is only for Mac not Windows, so that cancel that out.

Let me know how those work when you get around to it.
