would like to play aMSN web cam sessions (.cam extension) using external program
Hi
I would like to know if I cam play the web cam seesions logged in aMSN (i.e.: files with the .cam extension) in some external program such as xine if there's a plugin to handle it.
Playing it with aMSN is something I don't really like to do, as I have to log on each time and I have no control over where to skip to forward to. It also seems to be very resource hungry as well, because playing it usually slows things down quite a lot.
What I'm guessing is I'm not the first one to mention this, though I haven't been able to find anything along these lines yet while searching myself.
Well I'm surprised considering all this combined experience there is here ... almost had a troll moment then but fair enough, I'll look for another option
Combined experience doesnt add up to there being ways to do odd things. If a program like aMSN decides to use it's own special video format, there's no helping that other programs don't play it.
