iChat AV error

[jeff318]

My friend and I were trying to start a video chat over iChat AV... It works fine for me to connect to other people, but it doesn't work to connect to him. We are both on new MacBook Pros.

Here are the error messages:

Mine:

What does this mean, and how can I fix it?

quicktime prefs tip worked for us

Hello,

I got this tip from user defraine1 on MacUser:

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/macuser

I set our streaming speed lower than that (we don't have a T1) and the "-8" errors went away instantly!

"goto sys prefs/quicktime/streaming/streaming speed, set to 1.5mbps(dont use automatic)

In ichats prefs click on video and change bandwidth limit to NONE.

Restart iChat. "

Take care,

awiz
