Which PC software has given you all the best results? Skype? Oovoo? Other? I've tried Oovoo and the image quality was OK but the delay was an irritation.

I'm curious about both image quality and the time delay. Skype has done well at eliminating the delay in VoIP chats, but I wonder who has the edge in cutting the delay in video chats.

I've got a nice Logitech webcam, so that won't be a problem. Bandwidth on either end, however, is always subject to some speculation.

Any experience?

I use Skype. The picture quality depends on three things I have noticed: connection and computer and of course web cam. I have one of the best webcams out there. Compare that with the one in the macbook the difference is night and day. The thing is connection can sometimes make sound/picture lag.

Skype has the best sound by far though.

I found skype to cut out a lot on video (great for audio only though)

for video chatting I use MSN and have had no problems.
