It's a great thing to have h.264 Video pass through. Even when you've bought
2 GrandStream Gvx-3000 video phone like me. :))
Hope to see this feature in the next 1.4 release.

Video conferencing will probably not be available in 1.4.  Asterisk does
not include any video codecs - it is only able to pass through video
data that has been encoded by other devices/programs.  Including video
codecs in Asterisk may be problematic as there are patent/copyright
issues to be sorted out.  Even if Asterisk included video codecs
zaptel/meetme does not know how to mix anything other than audio.
