This got me also - look for Skype v 1.5.0.52 or higher. The version I got from versiontracker (v1.5.0.48) didn't have the video option in the preferences UI, but seemed to be opening a video window when I played around with it. Was very confused for a little while.
v.52 popped up an alert message saying Skype recognised my iSight, which is always reassuring. Also, it's worth checking to see if you've configured your firewall (known as NAT on some Belkin/iiNet modem/routers) ... You made need to open some ports. I'm still trying to get my head around it all. T.
