ola,
For example, should we use GISS? Ekiga? Skype?
the main difference between a video streaming solution and a video conference solution ( ekiga, skype ) is that anybody is able to see what's happening, e.g. that's it's public ( no need to authentify and join a conference room ).. so it depends on what you want..
I think the other key difference is that ekiga/skype are tuned for low
latency while streaming is usually tuned to have a big buffer so that
the stream doesn't get interrupted.
Any idea on the latency of GISS? When I was using Darwin Streaming
Server, it usually had a buffer of 10 seconds, which makes live
interaction impossible. I suppose we could have one computer
streaming and the other doing video conferencing.
