Hello Bryan,
all of the video features interesting for you are only available in SVN trunk
(the future Ekiga 3.00). Since this is a developer version, I suggest to
continue discussion here on the devel list. Thats also what I suggested in the
thread on the user list. I have been working on most of the new video features,
and I would be happy to take your requirements into account. However, probably
some patience and testing will be needed in order to get 3.00 running soon,
actually right now there are severe problems with some video codecs (theora and
H.264 however, the most interesting, are working fine). SO it would really be
great to get some more testers motivated enough not to quit at the first sign
of trouble and being able to compile SVN trunk for themselves.

Best Regards,
Matthias
