There is a new product in the stores now (or soon) that enables you to create video email to send over the internet (or Compuserve, or AOL, or...) The picture quality is very good, and a frame rate of 20 fps is common at a very high quality picture. The best news is that -- because of our compression technology -- it is not a net hog like you might expect. For example, I can create a video email (VMail) message 2 minutes long and it will take less that 1 MB in space. What's even better, is that when it creates the video message, it embeds a player into the message, so that once the person on the other end receives the VMail, they can just play it without special hardware or even owning the software product that created the VMail. The product is called AudioVision by Smith Micro Software, and in addition to creating VMail, it is also a surprisingly good video telephone for your PC. If interested, check out our web site: http://www.teleport.com/~pciwww/ or contact your local computer SW store.

Neat - what kind of technology is used so that these can play over vt220 terminals? Cause that's all we have here. Is there a 'termcaps' type approach so that each platform of the hundreds of platforms out there each get the appropriate player? -- :s Larry W.
