How to use Quicktime to record video chats (Skype, Google Hangouts)?
Hi, all,
I'm making a movie that includes an interview of someone who lives out of state. Thanks to modern technology, I can interview her without either of us having to travel farther than our computers. But, thanks to modern technology, shouldn't there also be a way for me to record this interview for my movie?
I've figured out how to use QuickTime Player to take a screen recording that includes the audio from the computer, but there are several problems with this.
I downloaded Soundflower, set the Sound Output to "Soundflower (2ch)" in my System Preferences, then went to QuickTIme, where I started a screen recording and set the Microphone to "Soundflower (2ch)". With a test run using music, I was able to capture the moving playhead and the audio. The audio was pretty good, but not quite as good as if I were just listening to the music normally.
However, this process won't work for an interview setting. While I was recording, I wasn't able to hear the music on my headphones. Only afterwards was I able to hear the music. This means that if I were interviewing someone, Quicktime would be recording her voice but I wouldn't be able to hear what she was saying until after I replayed the video. Also, I have no idea if the person on the other end of the video chat would be able to hear me (I did leave the sound Input to "Internal microphone" with no trouble from Quicktime).
Is there a way to have Quicktime record the video and audio and for me to hear what's going on at the same time?
If not, what [free] software does this?
Thanks!
P.S. Does Quicktime have a limit to screen recording time?
Great info, thanks for the post!

How do you import a recorded video chat into iMovie 09?
I recorded a video chat, and I have tried to import it a few times, but every time it never imports and says there are no clips in the event. What do I do?
thanks, PaigeHi,
I am having the same problem. The video I took appears as a .MOV file and nothing seems strange about it (plays in iTunes and iPhoto). I tried copying it to the desktop and importing, and that says nothing to import. It also does not appear in the iPhoto Movie browser in iMovie. Is there some sort of security setting that wouldn't allow an iChat video clip to appear in iMovie?
I am using iChat 5.0.3 (745) and iMovie 8.0.6 (821).
Regards,
Keith

Question for Ralph Johns, recording video chat?
Ralph,
I noticed that on one of the thread you said that you could record video chat using Quicktime pro. How do you do that, I have been looking and looking on the ichat pref and quicktime pro pref menu, can't seem to see how to setup recording of ichat????
ThanksHi Fredericlang,
Sorry my fault. I was partially remembering some of the work by EZ Jim who used to post here and who has given me a copy of his Blog. http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/EZJim/EZJimpage7.html
Quicktime Pro does not record the Desktop.

You need to have the facetime app installed on your iMac and you need to be using an iPad 2.

How to use upload condition record program RV14BTCI
Hi
how to use upload condition record program RV14BTCI.
kathir.Hi,
To run this program we have to maintain Upload file in Application Directory,
We have to maintain 3 levels of records in that file.. my feel you upload through BDC or LSMW.
For your information,
The batch input program RV14BTCI reads the parameters is necessary
Giving sequential file and creates (depending on the data
In the file seq) one or more batch input sessions.
The data are seq file in the following structure expected:
- The session a session intent (Table KOBTCI, Record 0)
All other records until the next session, the intent
Last session assigned to read
- The head condition Sentence (Table KOBTCI, record 1)
All other records until the next condition,
Last read head appropriate rate
This includes the corresponding condition
Condition table
- The key sentence of a Main (Table KOBTCI, record 2)
It must be directly on the head set to follow
It contains the key condition of the table
+ Detail fields
- The season record has a subordinate clause (Table KOBTCI, record 3)
The teams relate to the key sentence in the main
Best Regards,

How to use the DISPLAY RECORD Setup Command in an etext file?
Hi All,
How to use the DISPLAY RECORD Setup Command in an etext file?
I want to display a <NEW RECORD> conditionally. The condition will be based on the data coming through from the xml file.
Please help me with an example. The BI User guide also doesnt show any examples.
Your help is appreciated.
Rgds,
Kiran PanditiHi,
You can use vb coding in BEx Analyser to calculate your unit price. For this you have to first display the attributes of your object "XYZ". Then you can use VB cosing to calculate the value for the unit price field.
One more thing cna you clarify whether is it display attribute or variable ?

Use connect to record video??
I want to try to use connect to record video of an instructor
to include in an online coures. I can record myself as the
presenter, but I want to know if I can use it to record video of a
participant? I looked in the documentation but couldn't find any
info.
Thanks,
AnnetteYou can. You will need to make the participant a presenter or
give the participant enhanced participant rights to the camera
tool. They can then broadcast their video and you can record it.

Tengo un problema con el video chat de google y ichat.
Tengo un problema que no consigo solucionar. No me funciona el video chat de google ni el ichat. A mí me pueden ver por el vídeo pero yo no puedo verlos a ellos, pero sí escuchar. Creo que me pasa desde que instalé el Lyon. ¿Qué puedo hacer para solucionarlo? Ya he instalado la última versión y nada. No sé qué hacer.
Copia de seguridad de los datos desde el dispositivo a iTunes. A continuación, restaure el dispositivo como nuevo. Pruebe el tema. Si no se fija, entonces es un problema de hardware.

Quicktime pro recording video playback too fast
I'm using Quicktime Pro to make a video recording with audio using the "Best" settings in the preferences (i.e. h264 encoding). When playing these videos back, the audio sounds good, but the video framerate seems almost x2 the speed as it should be. Below is the output of ffmpeg on one such movie. The output points to the fact that there's a problem with framerates, but I'm not really sure how to interpret it towards getting a solution. Any ideas on how to fix this so that we get audio video sync'd up and at the right speed?

Must supply at least one output fileHello,
I think it has something to do with audio settings in your camera.
There's a menu where you can choose 12bits audio or 16bits audio.
Change the setting and try again.

How long can ipad 2 record video
how long can ipad 2 record video
The I found this for the 4G iPod but the 5G will be less since the 5G is 720p while the 5G is 1080 p.
How much space does the camera video use?
Do a test by noting available storage thant recover for 10 minutes and again look at available storage and see how many GB is used in 10 minitues and do the calculations.
The 4G is 13 minutes/GB
I estimate the 5G double that or so and thus 1 GB/6 minutes -
