Video Voicemail issue
When you record a message to a voicemail, Asterisk records video too... the only problem cames that first seconds are degraded to Intra-frame (first frame) loss while greeting message...
Call Image Videotel has special feature to get a perfect recording without any modifications on asterisk.

our enhanced version of MeetMe (http//confiance.sf.net) added video support to it. It also supports videomixing, if wanted, even though it's still an early work, so any kind of feedback would be appreciated.

Asterisk and Video support
You can use msnV5.0 (under windows XP) to make a video call in SIP. Unfortunnaly it doesn't seem to work. Asterisk seems to truncate the video capabilities into the INVITE message
