hereCornell University's created the original freeware version and now White Pine's markets a commercial version. Most RGB cameras/Capture Cards will work with both the Cornell and White Pine versions of CU-SeeME. The cameras/capture cards that supply RGB (Video for Windows aka AVICAP) tend to be older or higher end devices but not always. Most newer USB type cameras only output YUV (DirectDraw) video streams and will only work (un aided) with the White Pine version. The Cornell version only supports the AVICAP format not WDM) aka Video for Windows. Cornell needs the video stream to be in RGB16/RGB24 or YUV9 format at a resolution of 160x120 or 320x240.
An add on program called SoftCam from Luminositi ( http://www.softcam.com/ ) has allowed some cameras to work with the Cornell version though. It does this by converting the YUV type video streams to a RGB format that's acceptable to Cornell. I have a SoftCam setup quick start page.
hereTip: Have a B&W camera and Cornell but don't want the pixeling? Get SoftCam and select RGB24 160 x 120. This allows you to use the M-JPEG codec with Cornell for your B&W camera. This is what the greyscale (TCD) codec looks like without going thru M-JPEG
 Digital VideoCAM tip here. |

Logitech Quick Cam Home has a video streaming problem with CU-SeeMe that require it to be turned off.
