Yes, i had read it, but i didn't understand it. So CIF is what most/all videoconferencing apps use, even Window$ Messenger? I guess that means that 640x480 is only applicable for saving the video into a video file on localhost, or something like that? Why do they even reference 640x480 as max resolution? Thanks.
