Video conferencing on Macs (using FCS)

One of our clients noticed across 2 Macs that the audio
feeds started to progressively
slow down (sounding like an old record player winding down).
Is this a known issue? (see topic title and summary for
specs).
Thanks.

Yes... it's a known issue.

IChat video conferencing problems with D-Link WBR-1310

Howdy,
I am having a few problems with iChat video conferencing. I use the D-Link WBR-1310 wireless router and a MacBook. My girlfriend has a MacBook Pro at her school which she connects to via ethernet. I connect to my router via wireless. The routher is connected to a DSL modem. iChat video conferencing tends to work sometimes but very rarely. I have DMZ on the router turned on as i read somewhere on these forums that it was recommended. I also have the Apple firewall turned off so my laptop is pretty much naked as far as security is concerned. Three other computers use the network One desktop PC connected directly into the router and two Apple iBooks which are connected via the wireless. The problem is that i keep getting error message -8. Can anyone please help?
Thanks in Advance

I'd start by verifying you have the most recent firmware installed on your router.
Next, start off by trying to test to a user that has no known issues: http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html (Bottom of the page)
That will help pinpoint where the connection issue lies.
Once you can succefully connected, then you should set up a static ip address on your mac and port forward the necessary ports in your router. If you router supports UPnP, I'd try enabling the first.
I hope this helps!

Netmeeting compatible video conferencing software for the Intel iMac?

I am currently using XMeeting V0.2, but the received video leaves a lot to be desired. The image quality, even at a slow frame rate and on a gigabit LAN, is no where near as good as on a PC running Netmeeting. In contrast, the transmitted video is perfect. I've played with the settings, but nothing seems to help. Anyone using XMeeting? If so, what settings are you using? Any other video conferencing Intel Mac software (free to cheap) I should try?

The only one listed on
http://www.applechat.info/
for Netmeeting is:
ohphoneX
Don't know if it is Intel Mac compatible.
You may also want to find out if any of the Windows solutions work well on Boot Camp or Parallel's Workstation, or Wintel Mac OS X which offer the ability to run a variety of Windows versions on Intel Macs.

Creating video conferencing application?.

hello, im a newbie in JMF. How should i design a video conferencing application that uses less ports for transmitting audio and video streams? since i have read in the API that there is a separate port to be used for audio and video. and what comes into my mind. the use of ports may increase since more users can come in and join the conference, and also interact with the conferencing. Thanks. I would like to hear a lot of response from people who have already created such application.

Hi,
Already set audioReliable & videoReliable false on publisher & player nestream.
Still the lag is there. Is there any latency buffer settings anywhere ( on server which each peer copies?)
Regards,
Arati

Is video conferencing possible with iPad 1?

I have an iPad...is it possible at all to do video conferencing on it using external video cameras?

Yes ... currently the only way to update your iPad software is through iTunes on your computer. Transfer your purchase first and you should have no worries. Read my response to this post (yours as well) and hopefully your fears will go by the wayside.

You really don't want to go through iTunes do you?

HT4534 Mac Mini HD Video Conferencing

I am considering purchase of a mac-mini for video conferencing. This article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4534?viewlocale=en_US) refers to "built in camera". Of course, the mac-mini has no built in camera. I would be using my HDTV for a monitor. Can I use the Logitech c910 & the mini for HD Facetime?

I also have a mac mini and am using the Logitech C920. At the beggining, I had issues with its built in mics not working with FaceTime, but I found a solution for the problem and now all the programs that interface with the camera work great (FT, Skype, iMovie, etc). If you do buy the C920 run into the same issue that I had with the mic not working, here is the quick solution for the problem:
Cause of Problem: The Logitech C920 camera/mic operates on a 2ch-16bit integer. You can verify this by opening "finder + Utilities + Audio MIDI Setup" and then select the HD Pro Webcam C920 and look at the "Input" Default values.
The Mac Mini's "Built-In Output" and "Buiilt-In Input" formats were set for 2ch-24 bit integer. Therefore, the default input and output were out of sync with the C920 default format.
Solution: Change the Mac Mini's default Output to "2ch-16 bit integer". You don't need to change the default Input but it doesn't hurt to do so. Once you do this, the camera and it's built in mics work on facetime and all other video chat applications.

Mac to PC Video conferencing: OhphoneX to NetMeeting

Most of the Mac to PC Video conferencing posts talk about iChat AV via .Mac/ AIM screen name to AOL Messenger.
For those wishing a larger video size one could replace AOL Messenger with Trillian (http://www.trillian.cc).
We, on the Mac side, are blessed with the ease of use of iChat AV.
The set-up, on the them side, the PC side, is a bit of a hassle for your poor family and friends who barely know how to shutdown their PC with the Start button.
Why not let the Micros~1 Windows 2000 / XP users enable their packaged NetMeeting software.
I recall from my dark ages that NetMeeting was serving its purpose with adequate proficiency (Isn"t that a "contradixio in terminis").
OhponeX claims to be compatible with Micros~1 NetMeeting.
http://xmeeting.sourceforge.net/
The installation of Ohphone on the Mac is .... simple.
The activation of Micros~1 Netmeeting .... requires the filling of a few set-up screens.
Now find each others IP address:
In OhphoneX this is displayed on the main screen
In Micros~1 NetMeeting, go to Help, Click About and there the IP(s) are listed.
Enter the IP in the callto screen and press enter.
On the Mac side you can click Connection Statistics to see the in/out streams for both audio and video.
The mentioned OhphoneX website has a good manual.
The lovers of OpenSource will dig the code.
One next step to be solved: connection across LANs.
Within the same LAN I"ve got this Mac to PC connection working.
Cross LAN I got stuck with NATs and router ports.
Any help out there?
Regards,
Coen Jeukens

OK, Bill, <big><big><big>☺</big></big></big>
Coen and I have chatted about this.
I believe that he posted this thread to assure those who wonder whether OhPhoneX can connect to NetMeeting conferences know that
b it can. Coen, please correct me if I am wrong about this.
I have never used either OhPhoneX or NetMeeting, but Coen tells me that this info will be of value to iSight users wanting to do so.
As related to Coen's
]"One next step to be solved: connection across LANs.",
Bill, if YOU can't answer this one, I do not stand a chance!! <big><big><big>☺</big></big></big>
If Coen does not get needed answer from someone here, I suggest he might find better help from http://xmeeting.sourceforge.net/ or in the Tiger > Getting Online & Networking Discussions area.
That is the best I have to offer.

how can i play videos directly in player using html hyperlink in Mac???

What does any of this have to do with Java?
It sounds like you've misconfigured your browser, but I'm not sure what you're even talking about.
You know that apple.com has all sorts of forums for mac users, right?

I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac, editing in imovie and burning on idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do?????

I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac then editing in imovie and burning dvd-r using idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do??????

At what point is the video quality bad? Is it bad on capture? I would recommend using an s-video 1394 firewire converter instead. They capture the video at a higher bit rate. If you have a lot of 8mm tapes to capture, invest in a stand alone DVD recorder. They capture and compress in one shot. If you need to rip it back from the DVD into iMovie again, I would recommend using DVDxDV.

Can't Use Video with other Mac users who use AIM

I know that ichat is compatible for video chats with other pc users who use aim, but does it work with other mac users who use aim?
Everytime I try to chat with my friend, I get an error message when trying to start of a video chat.
BTW, I use a iMac G5 with an isight camera.

Hi Staci,
For a Bit of Clarity.
AOL have their Instant Message App. referred to as AIM.
Apple decided and did a deal with AOL that iChat could join their service Buddy Lists.
On these Discussions we tend to refer iChat as Logging into AIM, as they are the servers that the Buddy Lists are held on.
As iChat can also use Bonjour and Jabber, both of which have their own Buddy list window on your Mac. The Jabber side needs you to have a Jabber screen name - so again people differentiate between this and the AIM side.
I would guess you friend is trying to make it clear that she is using the AIM side of iChat as opposed to the Jabber side.
As has been said already, the Application side of things also tend to get referred to generically as "AIM" as well.
The Mac version has stopped and 4.7 and will only Text chat.
The PC side needs 5.9 to clearly Video or Audio chat with a Mac using iChat. (AIM 6.0 is not stable enough to A/V chat to iChat).

I work for a teaching hospital. We are using groups of 20 to 30 iPads for access to patient electronic records, video conferencing software, and other, HIPPA compliant apps. I need to be able to access the iPads to shut down and erase in case of loss.

I work for a teaching hospital. I have started a program to place Physicians and key support personnel on iPads for electonic medical records, video conferencing software, and other HIPPA compliant issue. I have a need to have one central program that can push out updates, other information, but most importantly, can erase the iPad in cases of loss or stolen. Can anyone direct me to such software.
Thanks,
Wayne Hodges

The Mac mini does have somewhat powerful specs at top end.
Mac mini with OS X Server features a 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor that delivers incredible speed and performance, thanks to innovations like Turbo Boost 2.0, Hyper-Threading, and an integrated memory controller. Add in 6MB of L3 cache, and you’ll find that Mac mini with OS X Server is packed with power.

Is your version of Skype known to work with your operating system version?

Finally: Large window Mac-PC video conferencing with Yak

This isn't an iChat AV post, but since I've scoured this forum in the past for information on Mac-PC videoconferencing, I thought I would make a posting for other interested iChatters. My iChat AV works beautifully to my Mac-using in-laws but I have had much more trouble finding a workable videoconferencing app for my PC-using parents.
I downloaded Yak this morning (http://www.yakforfree.com/). Within about two minutes, I had signed up for a free account and installed the software on my end. It probably took 5 minutes to talk my mom through the download and setup. We connected immediately.
Although the initial window is postage-stamp size, if you click on detach window, you can resize it. I made my window half as large as my screen; my mom made hers as large as her second monitor. I was using an iSight camera and she was using a cheap USB camera. Voice quality is as good as Skype and video is pretty darn good (my expectations weren't high).
After my first experience, I would highly recommend this software to Mac users seeking to video conference with PC users.
Bill

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages
Sounds useful.
Have Bookmarked it for my Other Apps folder.
Looks like the other Skype-like features are US based.
