How is the real-time video done at [http://members.tripod.co.uk/vikki\_cam](http://members.tripod.co.uk/vikki_cam) ???  
I only got a 33000 conexion, but it looks like TV!  
Also, anyone know the secret URL? I lost it when vikki ‘left’ Freeserve;(

Thx, jono.

The presence of joe Estevez in the cast is a dead giveaway that the entire production isn’t even near “TV quality.”

Just right click on the film it says [metv.com](http://metv.com) so visit [metv.com](http://metv.com)

BTW, you need a real camcorder connected to your computer to do real broadcast quality video, not one of those cheap $50 web cams.

I use both.  
[www.truetech.com,](http://www.truetech.com,) for free, you can do absolutely terrific 6 frames per second live video. They set it all up for you.
