[GnomeMeeting-devel-list] Interesting for GnomeMeeting

Unfortunately it means one more dependancy. I'm not sure either that
distributions can ship with ffmpeg...

But here is the news :

H.263 is far better in terms of bandwidth than H.261, it is what Netmeeting is using.
However, I don't know if it is legal or not !

If it is legal, then I will add it to GM. And we will discuss if it makes sense to let
the choice to the user to use the one or the other or if we simply add H.263 as preferred codec.
