H.264 is an incredible video codec but it is definitely a CPU resource hog. It works great on my PowerMac Dual G5 but the only video clips I can watch on my iBook G3 with it are clips that are 320x240 in size. Anything bigger is impossible to watch. I don't know if Apple knew about this when they made H.264 the codec for iChat but they should have tested it.
Does iChat work with G4's or G3's in a one on one video chat?
