H.263 / RFC 2190 has been deprecated and shall no longer be used. If it is still necessary, there is a plugin making use of a hacked ffmpeg library which you can compile from the OPAL sources. However this plugin is being deprecated as well, since the H.263-1998 plugin is being added RFC2190 support as well in the trunk of OPAL (you can also compile this plugin from the sources) > I had a look on the Session Description Protocol in the > SIP/Invite frame with > Wireshark: > When I call from ekiga, ekiga offers video as a MIME type > "h263-1998", when I > call from X-Lite, the MIME type is "H263".
