*** Dinesh & Kavita's wedding present ***

I can't hear anything. It looks as though you can hear each other, though.

 

[Dinesh]

Thanks for the feedback Dwarf. Kari is fixing this ATM. The voice quality is amazing and it was never been like this. Its amazing.

 

[Kari]

This getting the audio signal broadcasted too is making me crazy! trying to fix it all the time, we are soon back online.

 

[Kari]

OK, we are back live now. Audio should be working now...

 

[The Howling Wolves]

OK, we are back live now. Audio should be working now...

Kari,
Where do I jump in and view?
Will give you feedback from US soil!

 

[Dinesh]

Hey guys can you now hear us both? I guess it should work fine now.

 

[Dwarf]

Although Kari sounds clearer than Dinesh, I can hear audio from both sides now.

Video-wise, you're clear and moving smoothly, Kari. Dinesh, on the other hand, you appear out of focus and when you move, it's a bit like stop-start animation.

 

[Dinesh]

That was the best video chat we've ever had so far. The audio quality was crisp. However, the video was not good at all. But I m happy that we at least got it working.

Good night ppl.

 

[Kari]

Thanks for the feedback, Dwarf. Strange, when I finally got audio working the video quality dropped

Dennis, you can watch it here: LiveCam from Mumbai « Wedding blog of Dinesh & Kavita. Scroll down the page to see instructions on one of the comments.

I know. Now all we need to do is to find a way to have good audio together with video. I wonder if this is a bandwidth problem at Dinesh's end, since he says in his Specs that his Internet Speed 'sucks'.

Yeah, that's the main problem. I got a new DSL connection and hence it was possible to do a video chat. The speed is get is about 2.5 Mb/s. I guess thats the cause of this issue. The video quality wouldn't be any better.

After working 40yrs in the phone business, this really amazes me. We have Dinesh in India on a video conference with Kari in Germany and Dwarf in the UK picking up the feed on this forum located in the USA and feels the feed is not up to par. We have come a long way. We use to run phone lines on barb wire fences when facilities were not available. Ask my grandma why she was shouting on the phone and she said it was a long distance call.

Looking forward to the wedding.

This modern technology has downsides, too... After my retirement almost a year ago, I've used spoken English very little. Stroke end of last summer did its own damage to my speech. Now, every time we are doing this with Dinesh I think all the time how terrible my lisping, word searching, Finnish and German infected English is.

As much as I like this project, counting days for my trip to Mumbai to begin, as much I feel ashamed listening myself speak

But, as Phone Man mentioned, we have come quite far. Internet is helping us to cross borders and boundaries as never before. Long live Internet!

[A Guy]

I'd think it would be good therapy though Kari, getting the english together in your head, and out your mouth Besides, no one is judging you here. A Guy

 

[Dwarf]

What audio/video settings are you using? If you have both of these set to maximum quality, you might need to back one or the other or probably both down to a lower setting in order to have both audio and video with the bandwidth available to you.

 

[HDM]

Wow! This is awesome! This really shows that this place is beyond a forum. Me likey

Well done I've just been watching it and enjoyed watching you both. Kari you were clear and in sync but Dinesh even though your speech was working fine and very clear it was not in sync with your actual face.

Kari I know exactly what Angie means about those ciggies, I used to roll my own and used to have the tell tale little holes
