Recording video chat

Hi, Is it possible to record a video chat? I chat with my daughter everyday during work and would love to capture some for when she is older.
Thanks

  • 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????
    Thanks

    Hi 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.

  • 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, Paige

    Hi,
    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,

  • 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!

  • Recorded video chats always open iTunes at conclusion

    not only this, but the video file is copied and saved into a "Movie" folder in my iTunes folder. I have check all the prefs in ichat and iTunes and cannot figure out how to stop this. I record ichats several times a week so this is very annoying.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hi,
    Annoying as this is I am not sure there is another way to do this in Snow Leopard.
    Previously the Ecamm boys did Conference Recorder but it no longer works in Snow Leopard.

    I cannot remember my Leopard version of iChat (ichat 4.x) opening iTunes on completion but it is a very long while since I did it.

  • Record Video in iChat no longer available

    Trying to help my Dad with this problem.
    He owns a MacBook Air, and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (now on 10.6.3). Before, in Leopard, he was able to record iChat sessions in "Video-> Record Chat" with the same computer. For some reason, now that option is grayed out.
    Under "Video -> Connection Doctor -> Capabilities", it lists "Insufficient CPU" next to "Record Video Chat".
    I had him delete all of his iChat preferences in his Home->Library->Preferences folder (which subsequently fixed the problem of me not being able to share his screen). However, it did not fix the record video problem.
    Did Apple take out this feature for certain processors with the advent of Snow Leopard? How can he get it back short of taking 10.6 off of his system? Seems very strange to me that this is not working when it used to.

  • Can't find saved video chat anywhere?

    Where does iChat save the recorded video chats?
    Its not in Downloads, its not in iTunes, and its not in the Documents/iChats folder. Where could it possibly be? My friend tried recording it on her computer, and can't find it either. Help?!?

    Also look in Movies
    Are you sure it is not in iTunes after you have closed the Chat window ?

  • Record chat not seen as option in OS X Mavericks Messages when doing video chat

    In OS X Mountain Lion when doing a video chat using Messages one can record the video chat. (assuming you have permission by the other party (parties??))
    I do not see that option in the "upgraded" OS X Mavericks.
    Is the lack of a record video option another "hidden" gem that Apple is providing us by creating "simplicity"?
    Or is the feature still somehow accessible thru a more "simple" means other than the way it used to be in OS X Mountain Lion?
    So, if Apple has deliberately and secretly removed this feature without telling me do you know of good screen-capture software that I can use as a workaround with regards to this missing feature?

    for the   Points.

  • Recording incoming Video Chat

    I was wondering if there is a way I can record incoming video from a video chat (using preferably yahoo or ichat) so i can archive it for future reference?

    Wiretap Pro will catch incoming audio. There may be something out there which will also catch video. Have an explore on versiontracker.com.

  • Recording a Skype video chat?

    I have an iMac with built-in iSight and I want to record a Mac-to-PC video chat through Skype.
    Does anyone know how I can do this with Skype? iChat to AIM/PC has been very lame. So I use Skype.
    Is there a third party program that makes this video chat into an .mov?
    Thanks,
    Panther

  • Recording A Video Chat

    When I get in a video chat and press to record the video chat, it allows me, and I stop it fine, but it doesn't save on my computer.
    What do i do?

    Hi,
    This is a partial yes.
    iChat can Video from a Jabber based Buddy List including a GoogleTalk one to another iChat Buddy who is using a Jabber Screen Name.
    It can not Video chat to the GoogleTalk App on a PC as that uses different Video codecs based on the Jingle Protocols the Jabber organisation as a whole have developed.
    The Google Web Mail site that also allow Chatting can do Video but this uses Flash to control the camera but iChat cannot Chat to that either as Flash is different from the protocols iChat uses.
    See the options 5 through 8 and 9 through 12 in this section
    http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_other
    The first are cross Platform apps
    The second set are web based sites that hold Video Chatrooms.
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

  • Recording a video chat. How do I make windows same size?

    New to iChat. I'm recoding a video chat with my buddy. His image window is huge my inset window is tiny. Can I have side by side same sized windows? If so how do I do that?

    Hi,
    You Cannot do side by side.
    The Pic-in-Pic is resizable.
    It can be as large as a 1/4 of the Chat window.
    Grab the corner nearest the middle of the chat window (It varies depending which corner you have the Pic-In-Pic which is moveable)
