Hi,
My fiance was a pc user, and we couldn't get any video chatting to work, with regularity or clarity. (He is in Canada as we go through the long Visa process to get him to the USA.)
I decided to give him my Mac Mini and external iSight. We got on iChat, and he could see us both just fine. He saw me through my iMac built in iSight, and himself through the external camera.
I saw myself just fine with my built in, but what I saw of him was a pure mess. Very largely pixelated.
The external iSight works great with photobooth, and seeing itself on the mini. I just can't see it from my computer. I thought we both go Mac, finally get to use iChat and live happily ever after.
Any ideas what is going on? We had no luck pc to mac. Skype cut out on us after about 3 seconds of video EVERY time. Aim never worked. Gtalk was okay, sometimes.
He is visiting me right now, so both computers are in the same house on the same network, if that matters.
Thanks for any help.
