Video Calls over WiFi? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I have googled th earht and found nothing.
Does anybody know of an application for Video calls over WiFi?
Not the 3G Video Calls!
I did find a nice application for Video Streaming which works only one way - you can generate a LIVE video streaming and the "world" can see you. (check out comvue).
The WebCamera solution for making the TyTn II a web cam for your PC is nice but not exactly what I am looking for.
Anyone with new/other ideas?
and yes, I know "MS Portrait", but it is far from being the application I was looking for.
Thanks for any help/advice.

nothing, sorry. Hopefully, some time, MS Portrait becomes a decet app (albeit I don't think it'll ever happen as front camera API's are just not published by HTC; this is why MS Portrait can't access the front camera.)

thanks, i will keep my eyes open.
it is a shame that no one developed somthing yet...

thanks very much
very nice.
I am enjoying streaming goodness.
You have to download Flash in order for it to work.
You can also use vtap.com - has a rich client download that make searching and watching sweet.

I don't care.... whatever.... you the man! THIS WORKED! FINALLY!!!! I have tried 100 different suggestions and NEVER to they work. THIS WORKED FOR MY ATT TILT!

add one more happy vtap user to the list. i just decided to try it because of this thread and its pretty cool for what it does. and we have access to all of youtube as opposed to the iPhone users. sure, they may have the better interface, but i'll take the larger library
Vtap is great!! The only problem I have is, on the site, it shows a view of the desired video like the youtube site would show but when inside the application, it only has a decriptions without a picture. Is this how it is for the Tilt version?

This didn't work for me. I followed the steps and it didn't work using IE or Opera on my Tilt.

Me neither. I verified file associations within TCPMP. Notably, there's no 'Video Sites' shortcut in Programs.
Because in ATT ROM, real player is the default player for the PIE and it doesn't support youtube. since i flashed my tilt with HTC stock ROM, the default player is "streaming video" app which plays youtube video with no problem. i think there should be a way to change the default player in registery.
hm vtap is nice if it has what you are looking for, but i just did a search for a video that i had uploaded to youtube and it did not find it.

Just go to youtube.com on your cell, it will open "mobile youtube."
on the bottom of the page, click "classic view"
once there it should work with tcmd...
I installed the cab from this thread on my tilt and it worked. I can now stream videos from the m.youtube.com site.

You're all forgetting to add that it also picks up videos from other sites, like MetaCafe, Google and Yahoo! Video and many others. Plus Wikipedia on the vTap just murks (that's "murder" for the ones not in the know) every other application or dictionary that tries to give us a mobile version of it on WM phones.
But the good thing is that the FlashVideoBundle works well also, just in case you prefered not to use a separate application...
i have vtap installed but i rather use regular youtube.
vtap and mtube lower the quality of the videos
can someone pls post the vFlashVideoBundle.CAB in this thread so I dont have to reg at that site. thanks!

vTap

I downloaded vTap and loaded it onto the latest HTC Official WM 6.1 ROM and it closes when you press the play button to start a movie.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
try soft reset after installing...u might have to take the Vtap icon off ur home screen also since it puts it there automatically after install/reset...
i installed it a week ago, ive reset many times since then and removed the today icon right away. There just isn't enough room on the today screen for all this stuff!
Anyways, it just crashes when the video starts to play (I don't get to see any video, it crashes right away)

I know this is specifically for vtap, but you can use other, more reliable, methods to watching youtube or any kind of flash video.
vtap was just too much. Quality wasn't that good either compared to tcpmp.

is there any application that works like vTap? Those 2 links are websites. I like programs more then websites for my Pocket PC because of the screen size and overall speed of programs is just faster then websites.
EDIT: The avot mv thing is an app, but its REALLY choppy and it doesn't preserve the aspect ratio (it stretches the video to fit in the screen), but im guessing the choppiness is thanks to those GREAT drivers from HTC.

the avot mv is a program u download to ur device from tht site its similar to Vtap (i like vTap better tho) and the tcpmp player and bundle are also on the other link so u can go directly to youtube and play from there...ur choice...
I have used TCMP w/ flash plugin and i have vTAP on my kiaser right now and it works great... no issues at all. I like its simplicity of use.
When I use Vtap, the quality of the video is really poor.. is it suppose to be like that?
vtap resolution worthless IMO

vtap works, but "wasn't that good" is a vast understatement - I've never seen such pitiful resolution!

Hello. I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service. We have just released a new version of the client which should greatly improve the video quality when playing Youtube, or Metacafe videos.
You can download the latest client by pointing you browser to www.vtap.com and downloading the client.
Here are some details of what is fixed in this release:
http://forum.vtap.com/index.php?topic=4.0
Once you install the client, you will want to enable the DirectPlay option under Tools/Options/Media
Inorder to enable the direct draw option, you will need to install some additional files on your phone. More detals about this can be found in our FAQ #15 - http://forum.vtap.com/index.php?topic=6.0
Please give this a try, and let me know if you see an improvement.
Thanks!
You could also try the new CorePlayer 1.2.1 which has a Youtube viewer in it.
Is there a thread somewhere with instructions on how to install and configure TCPMP with flash bundle? I have tried getting this working on my Tilt with no success.
I'm going to try out CorePlayer in the meantime. Thanks for the suggestion.

Whate are my options for video conferencing ?

Hello,
What are the options to make a video conference over wifi (NOT 3G). ?
Thanks
*bump* anyone ?
i have search enough the only one
that promises that is AGILE MESSENGER but is not free
PS
if you find something more let me know ..PM
I'm unsure of Skype Mobile and, being that I have the Tilt, can't try it out, but Skype for PC/Mac allows video conference calling for free between skype users as well as iChat for Mac and AIM for Windows.
no options as of yet,some claim ms portraint but but no good since most of us don't have the 2nd camera on the front to be used for the conference anyways
Sorry to bug in but am I missing something here? The guy is asking for Video conference. I do have Skype but I don't have an option for Video... What am I missing?
Probably nothing. I didn't know if Skype Mobile had a video conference option or not (Skype for PC and Mac does). I guess it doesn't. Oh well, future version maybe.

I tried Skype Mobile but it is not allowing to use the built-in camera of my Kaiser.
It won't. I checked on Skype's website. Video conferencing is not supported by Skype Mobile.

front camera as a webcam

hello,
I'm searching a app that uses the front camera of the kaiser as a webcam for the kaiser itself, not for my desktop computer, my goal is to chat and webcam when I am in the car, or on holiday, just like a videocall. Is that possible??
thnx
Sorry No Hopes
When i was 2 my Sr. Brother spoiled the fun about Santa before my Mom Tried
Don't Give Up
It is a good idea
but I think there isn't any app to make the front cam as a webcam

This looks like it, but I can't get it to work with my msn messenger...
I have another question... is it possibile to broadcast my webcam over an ip-adress, because then I could watch that cam with a program like ViewCommander. That way I could set up my webcam at home, leave my computer on to broadcast and monitor everyting.

Video chat software?

Hello guys,
this is my first post, so a little about me and my device:
I'm from Italy and I've got my Tytn II (Vodafone PDA 1615) few days ago.
I've already got rid of the original Vodafone ROM and loaded the updated HTC WM6.1 ROM.
I'm very happy with it and it allows me to do almost everything I need to for my job (checking emails, browse the Net, check my office servers and if needed, connect remotely to them).
I was thinking that it would be very nice to have a video chat software using the front camera as a webcam, do you know if something like that exists?
Thanks.
Aleph
You need a JavaScript-capable browser to download this software. ... Voice and video chat ... Look and sound your best with high quality audio and video

Skype Instead?
Does anyone have Skype working on the kaiser?
The only reason that I suggest Skype instead of VZOChat is because the other person has to have VZOChat - more people have Skype.

AFAIK Skype doesn't do video calls from pocket pc's.
