H261 and H263 have no patent issues, but FFMPEG has. So most Linux distributions can't ship FFMPEG. OpenH323 implements H261 and H263 and it is available on every Linux distribution. So we should use openh323 instead of FFMPEG like Ekiga. I've looked at x264 too. MPEG-LA claims to own H264 patents. Additionally, GPL may be incompatible with their "nondiscriminatory access to essential AVC/H.264 patents". http://www.mpegla.com/avc/ Cheers, -- andreas -- http://www.cynapses.org/ - cybernetic synapses
