I think part of the problem with the NYCFUG broadcast was that it was being done on a laptop that didn't really have enough power to handle things. The Flash video chat application is just a sample and could probably be optimized for use in this context. Also the camera and mic setup was not ideal - when folks were nearer the mic and/or there was less background noise, things were better (especially when Michael D spoke more slowly and clearly). Given the $50 video cam, an underpowered laptop and the fact that the server was hosted in Europe, I think the quality was pretty good. It can definitely be better than that - we've had some high-quality audio-video broadcasts here with FlashCom and tested it with a much larger number of users than we saw connected to the NYCFUG broadcast (or the earlier DevCon Community Suite broadcast). If you're having problems getting the quality you'd like, email me offlist and I'll try to help you work with our FlashCom team to see if we can resolve the issues (and then we can post back here our findings).
