Ok, I will try it just for my curiousity, but I think ViaVideo
looks more as a professional tool, with full screen 30 fps image
capability, noise reduction and black circuit compensation.
The main problem with that seems to be PVX software that,
as usual with Polycom, is a proprietary application with no
interchange possibilities with the more wide used Netmeeting..
One solution to have better professional quality is to use a
camera as Sony EZD1, but it requires an acquisition board,
limiting its use with laptops.
