Video Calls

probably you just need more bandwidth. I've never had any issues with msn video calls, whereas i HAVE had issues with skype becoming unstable, making pictures indecipherable and then being almost impossible to uninstall. People get all excited about skype, but essentially they're just reinventing the wheel. MSN has video calls and voice calls... why get more software?
Since my wife and I live on Vancouver Island and our kids are on the mainland, we use Windows Live Messenger all the time to visit our grand children. We just have a simple webcam with a microphone that plugs into a USB port and the kids have the same. We are all running XP or Vista. We've never had a problem.
Will it record the video and sound also ?
By the way, there's a moffat stove for anyone in the Langley - Vancouver area.

We get sound as well as the video. I've never tried to record anything but I guess it could be done.
Tell me that stove is not one with a self-cleaning, convection oven and flush stovetop elements because we just bought one.
This is the kind of stove.

I want to record too, but you didn't see any feature to do that ?

Yeah, it was right there in front of me and I didn't see it. Have a look at the following link:

BTW, that is a great looking stove. When I was a kid, my mom cooked on a McClary wood stove that looked very similar.
Keep that stove in mind for a friend or family member, Juan.
Anyway thanks for the tip, I've been wanting to do the video phone trip.

Okay you techy types, a couple more questions then.
1. How do I record my own voice to MP3 format on Vista?
2. How do I take a pic with my integrated webcam on Vista? It strikes me odd that I can't seem to find any independent controls to use my cam.

I recommend Gmail. They have a video chat system built in, and it works really well. Give it a shot, its cool. We screw around with it in the office all the time.
