Hi, The windows version of pidgin unfortunately does not support audio/video. It is slated for a later version, but it does not work yet. Using empathy, you can connect with windows users who are using the GMail video browser plugin, but again that does not work with pidgin (pidgin does not seem to find the required h264 gstreamer plugin). I can only get pidgin to work using the theora video codec. Furthermore, the frame refresh rates when talking to the windows users on GMail when using empathy are quite poor. I am not clear whether this is a problem with empathy or libx264, or this is intended performance with the GMail video browser plugin. Have you managed to get pidgin to work with h264 (ie when talking to windows users using the GMail browser plugin)? Sadly, skype still seems by far the easiest way of talking to windows users.
