Is there any way for me to do one of the following:

1) Use my iSight to send audio/video over MS Messenger to a non-Mac user?

2) Chat with a non-Mac user on iChat?

I have a PB G4 with an iSight, but my sister is trapped in PC land. We chat over MS Messenger, and I'd like to use my iSight to send her video. I also want to be able to do audio/video streaming between my children and me, who also use a PC.

Thanks!



ETA: Woops. Maybe this should have gone in A/V.....

As for number 1, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe MSN Messenger for Mac supports video chat.

As for number 2, as long as they have a new version of AIM, you should be able to video chat with them.

Apparently so.

I'm going to see if my sister can come up in AIM. Will advise.

Thanks!
