Read the OP, further down the page, he says the average
video is 1 hour and about 700 MB. He wants to send several
of these apparently.
On my dial up it tales about 5-7 minutes to download 1 MB.
700 x 5 = 3500 minutes, divide by 60 and you get 58.3 hours
per video. It is completely impractable and that is why I
suggested using CD-R and air transport.
Clearly, there is no cheap or simple way to do this. Sure
you can insert video clips into an IM, but to what end.
If the video was processed to remove the background to make
a green screen and then a high compression codec was used,
you might cut it to only 20 hours per 1 hour video. A
cable connection might get it to a 1-1 ratio.
Perhaps a witch or shaman could help.

| Interesting. When I think of a camera, I think of
something that captures
| photos, videos, etc., from a live source. I would have
never thought of what
| you're describing as a camera, but more of a player, since
it's really just
| playing the existing video and perhaps converting the
format so it can be
| sent via a chat or whatever. If you don't already have
either the original
| video on the computer, or an external "real" camera to
capture video, this
| virtual camera couldn't do anything.
|
| And the last post that said no camera hardware and no
computer really had me
| baffled.
|
| What you've posted could be a solution, but it still
doesn't solve the
| problem that the OP is using dial-up and doesn't want to
spend a lot of time
| uploading the file. I guess it depends on the definition
of "a lot of time"
| but video files, no matter what format, tend to get big in
a hurry.
