SO my wife is living in California for the time being while i am all the way on the east coast. Would like to have some nice video chats.

She is on a windows laptop , myself on Mac. We have been using gmail but honestly it seems to suck, video quality isn't good and for some reason it won't let me just use ichat for it, and i have to actually go into gmai to use my camera.

so is there a good chat program that supports video chats that can go back and forth between ichat or some other mac program?

Pideon/adium says it doesn't support video chats now.

danke

    I've had good luck with the browser-based TinyChat. Text+Mic+Video. Smooth video streaming from what I've seen. Apparently they've just doubled the resolution too.
