Kevin, thanks!

It’s a test preview of my video from the Skype application just to show me how the picture looks. I would imagine that the recipient of my video would be able to see the proper view.

I notice in the picture that the text isn’t readable because it looks like it’s flipped (as in a mirror). Is this a feature of camera or Skype or the upload? Thanks.

James and I tested it with a MBP to MBP setup; both of us were home at the time.

Kevin,
25fps would be fabulous. I assume you’re using your MBP; what about the other end?

Skype advertises the frame-rate at 25 fps and my brief experience with this version tells me that they are accurate in that claim. The video was clear and smooth. Bear in mind the performance will depend on your hardware and your upload speeds to name a few facctors. Skype recommends a minimum upload of 384 kbps.

at that resolution, what kind of framerate are you seeing? my current skype video calls tend to be quite jerky, so i would shudder to think of pumping four times as much data through that connection.

I just installed the beta on my MBP and Kevin had to admit in a test call that I am four times as handsome on Skype now, something that neither one of us thought was even possible. :)
