Yes there is alternative and the better one! you should try ConfBridge even ConfBridge was introduced since Asterisk 1.6.2 but as per your video requirement I suggest you to upgrade Asterisk version to Asterisk 10 see here for new features

Asterisk able do only following video conference: one person speaking, all other see that person.
To create that use ConfBridge or Meetmee, but ensure before that u have video call between ALL party and all have SAME video codec and SAME video size/bitrate.
Asterisk not support mixing or change of videostream. See vmuktu and BigBlueButton for examples of video conferences.
