However, the video quality is low, since most users do not have very powerful computers, and the connection should be good. If you are the owner of a modern computer and a high-speed Internet connection (512 kbit/s uplink), then why not enjoy all the possibilities?
In the Skype settings folder, find the file config.xml and open it in a text editor. Find the <Video> section. Add additional parameters:
<Video>
<CaptureHeight>480</CaptureHeight>
<CaptureWidth>640</CaptureWidth>
<Device>ATI T200 AVStream Analog Capture</Device>
<Fps>25</Fps>
</Video>
It is clear that instead of <Device> you need to specify the name of your device.
The procedure is almost the same. You need to go to «~/Library/Application Support/Skype/yourskypename/», open the file config.xml , find lines:
<Video>
<Device>Built-in iSight</Device>
</Video>
and replace them with:
<Video>
<CaptureWidth>640</CaptureWidth>
<CaptureHeight>480</CaptureHeight>
<Device>Built-in iSight</Device>
</Video>
After that, you will get a picture with a resolution of 640×480 instead of 320×240.
