I would ultimately like to video/audio chat with windows users. But to my knowledge there is no current program for windows that can communicate with ichatav.
So in the meantime I want to use my isight as a one way webcam. What is the best software to do this, i'd like any windows user to be able to view a video/audio feed of me using my isight etc.... I have heard of quicktime broadcaster but I am having trouble configuring it, seeems to be the most complicated program i've used on this mac yet ..........
What are my options and how can i accomplish hosting a stream of my video/audio for net users.
Thanks

Hey yeah. I'm having the same problem, I usually use this www.userplane.com/im to talk wtih window users. When you enter that site, type in your email address in "DEMO" and click "DEMO" and you'll be logged in as DEMO. click on a person you want to talk wtih on the list. then there you are. The webcam picture is so small like 1" 1/2 by 2" But better than nothing.. without any hassles. It works good for me for over a year now.
Hope it helps? Or there's smoething better? Anyone?

This site shows several programs capable of working with the iSight, and a few have Windows counterparts.

iVisit would be my current suggestion for Mac to PC video conferencing.
I will tell you the image quality is not nearly as good as it is with iChatAV. This, however, is not the fault of the Mac or the iSight, but a limitation of the iVisit design (its lousy on both platforms).
