I have a 2mb downstream/1mb upstream braodband connection to the Internet. I
use Skype video conversations very successfuly on my setup with good quality
on both audio and video. I also use Computer Call feature of Messenger 8.0
without a problem too but when I try Video Conversation then audio quality
become jerky with beginning of words being cut off, video refresh is really
slow and I get a message on Messenger window saying that my connection
appears slow. The guys at Microsoft are asking me to do a bunch of complex
things including messing around in my registry in order to try and get to the
bottom of this but surely with no problems in Skype or Computer Call area
there must be something fundamentally wrong is codecs used for audio/video,
QOS area or in firewall (ports being used for these types of conversations).
If anyone has any ideas or can tell me how to simply track down problem I
(and perhaps Microsoft guys) would be very happy to hear them.
