iChat Windows Clients

Are there any windows Video clients out there ?
I know people have mentioned Trillian but this looks like a Hosted solution is it really client to server configuration ?

Or is it Client > Trillian > IChat Server ?

There must be some clients out there… ?

Mac OS X Server, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

Google Chat?

We use Exodus here for the windows clients, but it doesn't appear to support video.

GoogleTalk IDs will only work iChat to iChat.

The PC app and the Web Mail Page options use different codecs to iChat.

Trillian Pro is a Multi Service Client and in the iChat (Client) Forums we suggested it a lot at one stage as a AIM for PC substitute. However I am not sure of it's Jabber Video Capabilities - or if it will default to the AIM codecs (As it does with iChat to Trillian Chats).

I'm interested in this too.. if anyone has a good suggestion. From what I can see, Trillian is the only solution that looks like it has the ability to do video. For me, this isn't a viable solution, as each user has to set up an account with Trillian.

Any other suggestions for a good winblows video chat client?

Psi is a Cross Platform text only Client.

See also Jingle
You will see that it states the Google variation is not the same as others implemented on Jabber/XMPP servers

It does list other clients at the bottom which may be worth following up.
