However, there were a few things about the video display that I thought were missing. I couldn't find a way to tell ooVoo to remove the outgoing video preview. I could do it indirectly, by telling it to enlarge the incoming video window, so it fills the Video Conversation window, but what I was after was just the opposite - remove the outgoing preview, and then make the Video Conversation window that much smaller.
I also couldn't find a way to have ooVoo show only the incoming video on the full screen. Even if you click "enlarge video window" on the incoming video, and then expand the enclosing Video Conversation window to full screen, the actual incoming video is still considerably less than the size of the entire display.
Of course, with the video resolution ooVoo is sending right now I probably wouldn't want to see the video full screen anyway, but that is likely to change. By default, ooVoo shows the video windows in "3D mode", which simply means that the incoming and outgoing video windows appear to be slightly angled to each other. It does make for a bit more "fancy" appearance, but turning it off actually allows the video windows to be a bit larger inside the Video Conversation window.
I'm still undecided on this feature, because it seems rather trivial to me, but whenever I turn it off, I am surprised at how "flat" the video looks. It seemed that there was always a noticeable "lag" in the video, even when I was connecting between two PCs that were sitting side by side on my desk. When I was talking to my brother, who is on the other side of the world and has a rather low speed ADSL connection, the lag was very noticeable, and actually got so bad that it made carrying on a conversation pretty difficult.
The funny part, though, was when I tried a three-way video call, with three PCs in different rooms. The slowest of the three, a Pentium-M 1. Now, a 1. The fastest of the three was a Pentium 3. Otherwise, actually carrying on a useful conversation is likely to be very difficult. Meanwhile, companies like Tandberg and Cisco Systems make high-definition videoconferencing or "telepresence" equipment for corporate customers.
The Quanta Video Messenger will support a resolution of by pixels at 30 frames per second, Schwarz said. In a demonstration, engineers at Quanta's offices in Taiwan used a prototype of the appliance to connect to a PC in New York running ooVoo's software. On the receiving end, the video quality appeared to be closer to DVD quality than true high definition, and fast movement caused the picture to break up when connected at kilobits per second, a typical upstream speed for a U.
Doubling the upstream speed improved the image. This is so cool! I am definitely going to give it a try. I have so many friends that have moved away to other parts of the country, so I hardly ever get to see them anymore, and we can never see each other in the same place anymore. Our main form of communication is now the telephone and the Internet.
I will be sure to download this program so that we can all get together again and video chat at the same time. It really is amazing what technology can allow us to do today, and this is certainly an innovative program that will bring people together. I think this is worth a shot. While Skype has been around for a while and I am not crazy about getting even more software, the fact is that Skype is always choppy. This gives me the distinct impression that they are monitoring your calls.
Still, apparently everything we do is monitored anyway, so I guess I can overlook that part as long as the quality is top notch and I can have a video conference with up to 12 people — all for free. Dee, did you try this feature before? I am really curious to know if it works the way the company advertises this feature because sometimes I find myself in the situation where I would need to have multiple calls at once, not 12 but 3 or 4 at least.
Then it tells me to click on Boost to fix. I just made a kik group and it blew up. I cant join it without my app crashing. How do i get out of "kik jail"?
