For better picture quality and light sensitivity, for the web cam you
could substitute a digital or analog video camera, possibly a video
capture card or other interface device and ICQ or Netmeeting etc but, it
would still not be a full screen image and it would probably be
realistically too complex for the average joe to set up on both ends.
It would take some time to work out the wrinkles and would have to be
done in advance or you would end up with nada...
Probably wiser to stick with the best web cam you can get if you do it
all all...
A while back someone recommended one model as being particularly good
but I can't remember the name of it...

I don't think you will find a web cam that will give you a decent wide
angle shot in the lighting you are likely to have. They really are
designed for more intimate purposes - web chats, etc., not live event
feeds.

OK to all you gadget gurus out there.
My daughter is getting married this fall.
My in-laws (Most of my wife's family actually) live in the northern
reaches of Ontario and are showing a reluctance to traveling this
far south. They wondered if I their techhy son-in-law could set up
a laptop with a web cam and broadcast the wedding via the Internet
so they could watch it live instead of being there. (My preference
is them be there)
I remember someone like Linksysy at one time had these and marketed
them, but I do not know if they are still out there and I have no
idea how well these work.
To me it seems like a whole lot of work just to please some people
who do not like to travel. (long history here)
Anyone have any ideas?
How much am I looking at to get this setup and make it work?
The church has high speed Internet so that will not be a problem.
