Does anyone know if the “iTunes compatible” recording of a video chat on iChat can be edited in iMovie or similar mac video editing software.

Thanks!

@Wendy I know this is a very late answer but to reinstall iChat in Leopard:

1. Insert your Leopard Install DVD.
2. Open the Optional Installs folder and then double click on the Optional Installs.mpkg.
3. Accept all the terms and eventually you’ll be presented with a menu.
4. Uncheck all the boxes you can in the menu.
5. Expand Applications and check the box next to iChat.
5. Click continue and iChat should be back.

Run software update when you’re done to get the newest revision o f iChat.

I have mistakenly deleted my i-chat. Anyone know how I can get it again?
Thanks

I can remember using AOL on Dial-Up many years back. Innovation in instant messaging has gone a long way. I am a huge fan of iChat. The multiple user audio and video conferencing is very convenient and helpful when not everyone can make it to a meeting. I advise using this program.

@SB You can use AIM or SKYPE with ichat. They work OK but nothing is as good as mac to mac ichat. There is also open source cross-platform spark – http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/spark/index.jsp or http://www.pidgin.im/

Trillian Astra should be cool when they get it going http://www.trillian.im/

This will reveal my ignorance, but here goes. I have iChat (10.5.6) and a MobileMe account. I want to video conference with a friend in Dubai. Must they also have a MobileMe account (I realise you can have a MobileMe account with Windows or a Mac)? Or can a MobileMe subscriber talk to a Google Talk subscriber, for example?

Excellent article.

Nice article.

I’d like to put in a good word for Chax, an iChat add-on that adds some nice features. For example, a single window to show all contacts that can also automatically re-size as buddies come and go, auto-accept various invitations, and more. It’s nice, it’s free (donations OK), and recommended.
