I just bought a couple web cams so I can send one to the folks so they can video chat with the grand daughter. I was unimpressed with yahoo messenger's ability to do this with any kind of frame rate. It would seem like the data stream should be compressed by the sending computer and then uncompressed on the other end. I would rather have faster frame rates and some pixelation or better yet the ability to adjust the compression settings to get better frame rates. My security camera system can send several video channels of data at much higher frame rates than yahoo is doing with one. I would think that the camera software should have some control over video compression rates etc.
I bought two MS VX-5000 web cams. The resolution is pretty good and the frame rate is fair when viewing with the microsoft viewer but it is down right crappy with yahoo. Also some control over the window size would be great as well.
