Is there any difference in video quality for IM clients?

[Arschloch]

Hey all.

I just purchased a webcam. Is one IM client superior to the others in terms of video quality when doing a video chat? In other words, is the video clearer through, for example, Yahoo! than through MSN or AIM?

Thanks!

IMO and experience msn does a better job. This also depends on the webcam as well.

I was wondering about your handle when I first read your post but then noticed the sig

I agree 100% with Jon855 and also vote for MSN as the superior video quality.

I've no experience at all with AIM so can't comment but MSN beats Yahoo video for sure.

I would think that 90% of the quality is determined by the webcam itself, but I use MSN just like the other guys.

I thought iChat is better than others? Am I wrong?I wish iChat would work with MSN or Yahoo.
