    As the title says. Not really pleased with Skype or MSN.

    Well...I've only used Nero's video converter, and the end result was less than perfect once the DVD was burned. :bad:

    But you might want to take a look atdownload.com's video tools section. I'm sure you'll be able to find a free converter for free. :rolling:

    Sorry to intrude, but Kitrax, what have you been smoking? It's conversation as in video chat, not video conversion. :rolleyes:

    I'm using Skype extensively, what part is 'unpleasing' to you?

    ^^same as C-F, Skype has good sound and isn't too hard to use, what's wrong with it?

    It's just that some aspects of the Skype conversation were lower quality than on MSN, especially the voice, while MSN sucked a bit more in some regards, so I concluded both were quite crappy. But my interlocutor had a shared connection, so lag was inevitable. MSN Live claims to be better than MSN 7.5 in video conversations, but I think it's actually worse in the new version.
