We don't even need to support every protocol with this.. Prob just libjingle and jabber would be enough.

Actually, should have voted -1.
In software patent countries, you are expected to pay royalties for its use. So H.264 is a big no-no.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264
=================
In countries where software patent regulations are upheld, the vendors of products which make use of H.264/AVC are expected to pay patent licensing royalties for the patented technology that their products use. A private organization known as MPEG LA, which is not affiliated in any way with the MPEG standardization organization, administers the licenses for patents applying to this standard, as well as the patent pools for MPEG-2 Part 1 Systems, MPEG-2 Part 2 Video, MPEG-4 Part 2 Video, and other technologies.
In January 2007, a U.S. District court jury gave an advisory opinion that one patent owned by Qualcomm should be invalidated.[4] Qualcomm had claimed that the patent had been incorporated in H.264 in violation of its patent.[5][6] The U.S. District Court judge has yet to rule on the verdict.[7]

Aff, didn't know about that there were royalties needed for H.264, just knew that it were a good codec.
Oh well, then we should support the same with some other codec. Ogg Theora maybe.

This is too generic. Full-screen depends on the program/protocol used. Besides, with low-resolution webcams full screen would look ugly...

Auzy,
Yes, I changed it after reading your reply. The idea can remain essentially the same, but with an alternative codec perhaps.
azimout,
Well I want it full-screen. :)
Then we can use interpolation to increase quality, or I purchase a good quality camera.
Lets make fullscreen anyways, then we can lead innovation if its looks ugly.

I use a 2 megapixel webcam (no interpolation) and would like my videocalls/videoconferences be full screen.
I'm also using simalar cam on my mediacenter (MythBuntu). This way I can have videocalls from my living room on the big flatscreen.
Because my family is living at some distance from me, this is a nice way to "visit" each other.
So please enable fullscreens videocalls.

We'll have to see atomant.
I have to admit, at this point I time, Sun is certainly one of the companies I expect to grow in the future (psst, anyone hiring at Sun?) :P
But seriously, at the moment, you look at Apple, they seem to be just copying stuff from unis, you look at Microsoft and surface is new and very cool, but too expensive.
Adobe will fail because AJAX and SVG will kill it.
You look at Google, and they have slowed down at the moment, but thats only because of Android, and they are obviously gearing up for some BIG online applications (wouldn't you with Android geared towards it?)
And then you look at sun, they have ZFS, Java, OpenOffice (which unlike now where everyone seems to be using it at home, 3 years ago, barely anyone used it) and Dtrace.
So, I think its entirely possible that Sun, will do as their did with ZFS and go totally overboard with a kickarse codec. If anyone will look towards the future, it will be the Sun and Google blokes. But unfortunately we will have to see with this codec, but I have the feeling it will be good.
