size=2>Asterisk's support for video over SIP is very rudimentary. Only to
video codecs H.261, H.263, and H.263+ are supported, and even then, not
very well. There is no support for dynamic negotiation of frame rates, etc.
Queries to the -dev list, as to progress on these features were recently met
with silence. We will be looking to jump into the project to support our own
initiatives in the area of video in a few weeks. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
