You can compile ekiga to handle the H264 video codec.
This is one of the most compressed one today, so you won't find a lot
better. But ekiga is not focused on high quality but reliable
communication, so it can be possible that some frames are dropped are
pixel not refreshed.
For conferencing it's hard to find better then what H264 video
conference offers. So yes I think ekiga is one of the most suitable for
this use.
Then again you can set the quality and frame rate of the communication
and so find the best result for you project.
