I just read a post on Skypejournal where they were testing Skype’s video conferencing service beta. The quality experienced at times was better than SightSpeed, which is impressive has SightSpeed have some impressive codecs.
Does anyone know what codecs Skype are using? Are they proprietary?

Thanks apakian. I visited the sites you posted and you seem to be directly involved in the projects. Can you share any more information about the codecs?
