Hi Damien,
I assume you tried the Windows version on a Windows machine ;-) . I've read
reports that the video on Ekiga's beta version for Windows is not great.
You can video conference using Ekiga on linux with Windows users if they
use Windows Netmeeting or Windows Messenger. There's also openwengo
(http://www.openwengo.org/) which has both linux and window's versions.
Cheers,
Jonathan
