> Is that option of h.263 codec is possible ?

BTW , there have been a lot of discussion about whether H263 should be included in ekiga or not :

http://www.google.com/search?q=h263+site:http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnomemeeting-devel-list

But without codecs plugins architecture , this was impossible due to legal issues .

But right now , it's true i'm telling most od the people that they should use SIP software instead of any other closed video conf solution. But it's true that most of the times , the problem is more a codec problem , and even more a video codec problem because most of the known sip client does not support H261 :

BTW this page is really useful when you want to convert someone to SIP.

Hopefully theora will permit to have a good videoconf without patents , more or less ....
