What I meant was, I want to capture traffic during 'WebCam/Video 
conversation', ie when i have video-convesation w/ my friend or someone. 
using msn messnger webcam feature.

there is equipment that we are trying to release in public, which allows to 
have video conversation, it's something like video-telephone.
when i use this equipment, and wireshark, i can capture traffic with a 
protocol ; H.263. and..G.722 , etc.
and it also tells me about their video type(qcif, cif ...), codec, and 
bit-rate, picture type, etc....

but i cannot capture any of these things with msn messenger video 
conversation, is it b/c it's encrypted?
all i see was just 'udp' protocol saying nothing..

is there anyway that i can see and analyze these things?

I want to see their picture coding type(i-frame, p-frame), time for 
receiving each frame so i can calculate their frame rates, and so on...

I also tryed with SKYPE, but i know that it uses their own codec, so there 
is no way to capture video frames, and analyze them.
but as far as i know, msn messnger uses standard codec, so it can co-work 
with other messngers like yahoo or AOL..

I don't know whether you understand what i am trying to say, but i hope so..

cheers.. need help here..
plz tell me about other tools or some kind of dissectos that allow me to do 
these things..
