| Video negotiates as h263 using the ffmpeg libs. Audio is sent using speex.

h.263 is subject to a number of patents in many countries.  The
patentholders generally demand royalties for any distribution of the
encoder or decoder.  To determine whether these patents constitute a
significant legal risk in your jurisdiction, consult a lawyer.

Since I do not feel that I, as a US citizen and resident, can safely
redistribute this Activity, I would be interested in tweaking it to use
h261 or Theora, to see how it performs.
