Hi,

I would like to know the best way to webcam with PC MSN user. Currently using Mercury and it seems not stable and messy. I hope to find something like Adium or any others you guys feel is recommendable. Thank you.

yes, can...

oh thnx dude,i'll try it

on other other hand you should try aMSN....

aMSN very buggy.....

i think currently doesnt have one software of MSN that run very stable on webcam T_T
if windows got iSight ?

I have just did a test for webcam on messenging. I m using usb webcam, v-gear talkcam messenger pro which is supported by mac with a driver supplied. It works with ichat but need to install ichatusbcam. I know mercury support webcam, but not with the webcam I m using. Then I tried amsn, this one works flawlessly. My usb webcam is alive! But, amsn is abit laggy for intel-based mac.

but amsn doesn't support audio feed, does it....?

that one didn't test

aMSN is still a PowerPC Application ,

so using aMSN or Mercury and iSight u can videocall with PC users?

aMSN works alright for me, no audio though. Now give us an update Skype will ya?!

NO audio? what if u run 2 softwares at the same time? e.g. aMSN and Skype. Skype for audio and aMSN for video? Can be done or not?

So... Which webcam other than the supa expensive-non-affordable iSight supports Mercury and can do video with pc user?

I tried with Logitech Quickcam Zoom on yahoo and aMSN, but I can tell you it's hell of an effort to (1)get it working with these softwares, and (2) tweak the color balance that's by default dark green for some reason...

So I personally don't recommend using 3rd party webcam on mac, iSight is still the way to go - get the latest macs

I'm dreaming...

iSight supa-expensive-non-affordable....?

there's always macbooks, the cheapest brand new macs so far.... or get a 2nd hand iSighted iMacs....

To compare iSight's superb quality with ordinary webcams (some mediocre ones actually cost 200+), its price tag is definitely worth while... Just give it a try in Apple Centres and you'll see what I mean...

Understand these... But I've just got an iBook last month... Right before the new release of the new Mac Book.... Already heartache... iSight costs SGD258... Isn't that expensive?

all i can say is.... Ouch...!!!

please don't bang your head against the wall.....

How far away from the release of MacBook? Seen it somewhere stating that if it's within 2 weeks you could always ask for a change to the new one or something...

i was hoping that it was within 2 months....

fingers crossed that we'll see some macbooks this weekend
