Which Web Cam Software? PC compatible?

I have some firends in Australia who are PC users and have set up MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger. What's the best solution for me Software wise? Something that will be compatible for sound and pictures?

Nothing with MSN. If your friends really like you () then they will setup an aim account with the most recent aol messenger. This will be audio/video/chat compatible with your ichatav (if you are on panther).

Well, there are a couple of other solutions like yahoo! or ISPQ-Chat, but the combination of ichatav and aol is currently the best. If video is not so important, there are a bunch of VoIP clients for mac.

They can still use the Messenger's along with AOL. Use AOL's AIM when they're video chatting with you.

When Tiger is released, iChat will be able to video conference with three people at the same time. Something to consider.
