Just use your smartphone off screen?

Have someone stand off screen, out of camera view to other party, and record it all on a phone.

Could even be done by the person on the call by holding it in the right location off screen.

Evaer isn't free, but it's trial version gives you five minutes per recording, just start and stop it all the time or something.

$20 isn't too bad. May look at that one.
Starting and stopping also isn't an option.

Really like a free one though.

What about fraps? Also this seems really dodgy. Is it an ex girlfriend or an ex workmate? I'm guessing exgf.

What happend, pray tell!

Is the reason they cant hold the cam off screen because they'll be jerking it on cam?

fraps does not work with skype ive tried.. it makes hundreds of files in seconds that hardly work as a playable video

Be aware that this is possibly (and almost certainly) illegal - recording people without their consent (e.g., over the phone) is definitely illegal. See privacy.gov.au and do some research. If it is for legal purposes TALK TO A LAWYER FIRST.

Noted.

It isn't for legal purposes. I wont go into why. One parent has been in regular contact with a lawyer so everything so far is all travelling by the book.

Ill keep it on track without going into it...
Lets just say its ACTUALLY needed to record a lovely conversation of Granny calling the Grandkids from her Canadian Cruise Trip and I didn't want to sound too lovey dovey.

I looked at Fraps. $40 for the licensed version. Any idea what the free version does.Greazy: Its neither.Not Cool.Vash's thread is way more entertaining. I suggest you re-read that one for the Jerry Springer story.

You make a thread on a public forum. I have a right to try and bug you for more info. If you don't like it, then dont post on here!

Cool. As long as all parties are aware they are being recorded it is fine.

rgr ill take a chill pill :(

Plenty of good suggestions.

Many thanks.

Lots of accessories to a crime itt

I suggest posting pix of exgf granny (preferably nude) so we can determine the most appropriate software for the job.

Uh oh, sounds like underage shenanigans afoot.

anyway, I love this program because
A) it's totally free
and
B) has a semi decent codec for recording, but also lets you set any encoding codec you want.
(also does record audio from "stereo mix" or "what you hear" whatever your sound card calls it)

Hmm not sure that link is at all relevant.
It's talking about a company or 3rd party recording it.

In saying that. I think video is an issue. I know at work if we have cameras in a location there has to be signs blah blah blah.

Recording the audio I believe as long as 1 of the 2 parties in the conversation is aware and is recording it, it is occurring is fine. At least such is the legal advice we were given.

Recording a screen of someone else videoing themselves ? .. I would think that is most definitely be not black or white. insert a MJ song here

A cop I know told me recently that its apparently OK to record someone you are personally talking to without their knowledge, but what's illegal is recording a conversation without the permission of the parties.

It came up in a discussion about whether you could record a conversation with a cop who pulled you over without telling them about it.

Try this one, it's free and easy to use app http://dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-Video-Call-Recorder-for-Skype.htm
Besides, it has several recording modes.

just use fraps -.-
