During a skype VIDEO call, do both caller and rece...

I see this question aksed all over the internet with no answers anywhere. Why? Please could someone clarify what the average data usage is per minute on a skype video call and whether the usage applies to both caller and receiver. Thanks.

Please take a look at this support content which should answer your question:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1417/how-much-bandwidth-does-skype-need
The data volume that one user is sending is obviously also applying as data volume for the receiving user. If you want to be really exact you should check if you volume rate only includes downstream or also upstream volume.

IPhone no longer plays music through headphones or on speaker but will work when making a call on both headphones and speaker.

Live video stream to both Flash and iOS problem

Hi everyone, I'm Lucas. I Have learnt how to deliver a single live video stream to both Flash and iOS from this video
But after that I got a problem with the ".f4m" file and ".m3u8" file (I think) like this video below here. I don't know what happen with the server because my camera is still working perfectly.
I now using Flash Media Server 4.5
Does anyone know how to fix it?

Try this :
1: stop any stream.
2: go to root_install\applications\livepkgr\events\_definst_\liveevent and delete any .stream file that is in there
3: Go to root_install\applications\livepkgr\streams\_definst_ any livestream folder that is in there for example if you streamed with name livestream12 there should be a folder with the name livestream12, delete it.
4: Then try streaming a single bitrate stream by adding to the FMLE the following parameters
FMS Url : rtmp://localhost/livepkgr
Stream: livestream?adbe-live-event=liveevent
5: go to sample player and add this url to the field : http://localhost/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m
*If you have a public IP do the following :
1: go to http://www.osmf.org/configurator/fmp/#
and add this url : http://public_ip/hds-live/livepkgr/_definst_/liveevent/livestream.f4m (replace localhost with your public IP)
and from the advanced tab say that it is live.
Give it a try!

SKYPE VIDEO APP THAT USES 3G AND WIFI

I would like to know if Verizon will now allow (as AT&T does) a Skype app that will use 3g and Wifi to make regular and video calls bypassing Verizon's network. As I understand it, it just uses the 3g data or Wifi data (internet) network. If Verizon wants to be competitive, they need to do this soon! And with their 4g system coming, it should be even more possible. Any ideas to get Verizon's attention?

Don't confuse this with Skype on vzw phones. This is SKYPE VIDEO that you are referring to.
AT&T currently only allows video to video chat over wifi, they are going to allow it over 3G now. The main downside is AT&T's network couldn't handle video to video over 3G during their own testing of their Facetime App. So it's likely it will still be limited to wifi due to insane lag.
Skype mobile is still exclusive to the Verizon network.
I don't know what you are looking at, but I see two versions available.

You're correct in that Skype now is open to all networks. However the Skype Video is what the OP is referring to with At&t being over wifi.

HT204380 Can you use one AppleID/email for FaceTime, to receive an incoming call on both iPad and iPhone so as to answer which ever one is closer? Or do I need to register another email for my iPad to work with FaceTime?

Any thoughts?

You need to register mother email address. See here http://ipad.about.com/od/iPad_Guide/ss/How-To-Use-FaceTime-On-The-iPad_2.htm

Skype video crashes my GPU driver and causes blue screen.

Hello,
Installed a new copy of windows and got the latest version of skype for my PC (on wich skype worked just fine, video calls, voice calls, but it was an older version. No hardware changes)
With the new skype, I , for the least, get driver crashes, and for the most, a blue screen, when I just go to options to set up my webcam.As soon as I see the square "loading" my webcam in the options, everything freezes and I get a driver crash or a blue screen.
Current specs:
i5 4440, stock clocks
2x8gb 1333 ddr3 1.5v ram, stock
R7 260x, stock
500w PSU, not the best quality, But I also tried a 1000w platinum PSU, and same resaults.
last error code I remeber from the blue screen was: 0x00000116
I know it is related to the GPU, but it doesn't have power deficiency, since I manage to run heavy games just fine.By the way, my webcam works just fine on different web sites, so it's not the webcam.
What I tried:
-Degrading to the oldest supported version by skype
-Degrading video drivers
-Using different webcams
-Installed all windows 7 64 bit updates
edit:
skype 6.14 works, but newer versions crash my GPU drivers and cause blue screen

I would suggest uninstalling Droidcam as it could be the source of some delays assisting in causing the problem. TDR problems occur when your videocard is unable to respond in 2 seconds for a variety of reasons (heat, tweaks), forcefully resetting the card. Some people increase this delay in their registry from 2 to up to 10 seconds to give the card time to catch up so that a reset doesn't occur. You can try this MS fix it which increases this delay. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2665946

Best video format for both iPad and Android

I've been testing DPS on both the iPad and Android and I'm having trouble converting video to a format that will run on both the iPad and Android devices. I don't have any problems with the iPad but nothing plays on Android so far.
If I test it with the DPS Tips app the video of the guy on the bicycle works on both the iPad and my Android device. Does anyone know what settings were used on that particular video?
Tony

If you are looking for a quick, easy solution, download Handbrake.
Videos created with the iPhone/iPod preset work flawlessly on every device Ive ever tested. For tablets, the iPad preset works well but occassionally wont play on smaller Android devices.
I run all my videos through Handbrake before I add them to InDesign (or my websites)

What's the best video card for both Premiere and AE on an iMac?

I remember seeing that one card works great with Premiere but then AE doesn't like it as much for 3D.
I have Premiere CC but only CS5 for AE. I might subscribe to AE CC if it's worth it.

We love it when people want us to guess what video card and other items you have .... price is no object of course right.... and you want CUDA? so that means a GTX this time instead of what you have (5770 upgrade? no, the original 2600XT that really should have been ditched long ago).
Yosemite also makes more demands on the GPU.
The GTX 680 Mac Edition EVGA would be the first, though people are using even newer graphic cards in the Nvidia line.
New Nvidia GTX 970 and 980 - cMP? ( 1 2 3 4 5 6)

Need to split video signal to both HDMI and VGA

I am hosting an event and the venue has given me a really tough challenge. I need to send a video signal from my Macbook Pro 15"(the highest spec, latest model) to a projector that only accepts VGA and to an A/V system that only accepts HDMI(this A/V system broadcasts the signal to several flatscreen TVs throughout the venue). Here are my two ideas, can anyone tell me if this will fail and if so, are there any other solutions?
Idea 1: Use a mini-display to VGA adapter, split the VGA cable with one VGA cable going to the projector, and the other VGA cable going through a VGA to HDMI adapter to the A/V system
Idea 2: Use a mini-display to HDMI adapter, split the HDMI cable with one HDMI cable going to the A/V system and the other going through an HDMI to VGA adapter to the projector
Idea 3: Rent another projector that accepts HDMI, use a mini-display to HDMI adapter and split the HDMI cable, with one going to the projector and the other to the A/V system(this is the most expensive option and I want to avoid this if possible)
The event is tomorrow evening, and I need to buy these cables today if possible. Would love to hear any ideas, thanks!!!

Yes. All video and audio outputs are always active.

Sound from both speakers and headset! How to fix?

Hi I've had this problem since buying my laptop early last year; whenever I skype call, all other sounds except for my call itself comes out through the speaker. Due to my mic being internal I am then forced to play games without sound and am unable to watch videos/ movies whilst skyping. I have googled this, and it appeared people has had identical issues in the past. However, the remedy for this issue does not work for me. I go into: Tools -> Options -> Audio Settings; but there is not option for Headphones/ Speaker. It only has speakers and headphones separately for me. Please help me as I have been unable to play games with sound/ watch videos for the past year while in skype (Which is extremely frequent). Thanks
