iChat to PC

anyone know of a tried and tested way to video/chat from a Mac to a PC?

I've tried to persuade the various members of my family to all buy Macs but they just aint, er, buying it

I've loaded aMSN on my mac - but thats video only, no chat. Anything else?

I've done iChat AV with an AIM user and done audio and video (from the US to England). It worked fairly well. But it does seem hit or miss...sometimes you get errors and it's not at all clear why they happen.
