Hi,
Is there anyway of having a two way (I see them WHILE they see me) webcam cam conversation with someone on a pc? I have mac osx and an isight, they're using a pc and a regular webcam. I can't use skype or msn messenger because the mac versions don't support webcam and programmes like aMsn or Mercury will only allow one way conversations (I see them OR they see me). iChat isn't compatable with pc, So what can I do, surely there is some solution.

I think it should work, if you tell them to get AIM. (AOL Instant Messenger) You can just continue to use iChat. (And of course, they need a camera too.)
Hope this helped,

Hey,
I just got my friends set up with AIM screen name and all, I've added them but they can't add me, also one of them has tried a few times to video chat with me but when I accept it cancels it.

Hi Alex,
I am not too sure about that. I do not think that they gave to add you, if you added them?! Whenever one accepts the other, doesn't that mean that erverybody is added to everyone else...?
Try deleting the contact and tell your firend to do the same with you. Then add him again, and make him accept your inivitation... You could also do the same thing the other way around..Shouldn't matter...
If that doesn't help, hmm..., I think I do not know then... (I that case I'll pass you back to the pool....)
