Thanks jbh that's the sort of thing I was wondering. I think my problem is what you describe. I'm using a 21 inch widescreen display set at 1080p (1920x1080) and the video being sent is really small; like you said 320x240 or something like that. When the small video area is scaled up to the entire display it looks like ****.
So essentially what I was asking was rather then let the program decide what size of video to send is there some way for me to decide and tell it? Finally, I do have high speed internet but I have a wireless router in between I wonder if I removed the router if perhaps it would work better. This is all via Mediacom by the way. Just wondering if there was some way to make the video look better. Thanks to anyone who can help.
