Conducting an online interview via Skype on new Macbook, need to record

[Rwac]

As title - what is the best software for mac (free) to capture the audio - and if possible video.

Quite urgent too

Cheers

I do this for a podcast I produce and use Audio Hijack Pro for this. It isn't free though... I don't know of any freeware that'll do the job to be honest, but Audio Hijack is cheap. Can't help on the video side though, sorry. There might be a Skype plugin?

Free, records and edits audio.. and.. suprise suprise, it's in the sticky. BOOM.

OK then EVH, explain to me how Audacity helps in this situation.

It records the audio from the Skype conversation.

Does Skype create virtual devices you can record from then?

 

[GraemeUK]

You can record "what you hear"

Can't see that option in my Audacity install.

Edit: I ask this because recording "What You Hear" has traditionally not been exactly easy on the Mac, hence the little 3rd party apps. Is this something that got added in Audacity or Leopard?

Worked succesfully. I simply open up a skype conversation and clicked 'record' in audacity. Recorded the conversation. Then exported it to a .wav.
Perfect

Cheers!
