Hi folks,

Rod mentioned the high quality of audio and video using iSight with iChat when communicating with folks in Canada. I have a couple of questions.

I always thought that iChat (and AIM) simply use text with optional video.
Does iChat actually use audio for conversation ?

yep iChatAV can do text, audio and video


Also, must one have a .Mac subscription to use iChat ?

not sure, but according to a web page somewhere you can use a extinguished .mac name, but no video
these explain a bit
