Great news Stuart, I will be testing it today. Is there a concern about the United Virtualities connection in the past to questionalble marketing strategies? I will be reading the Terms of Agreement closely.
Thanks again and great work today with the Voice mail info as well,
Graham J Wallace

Graham, It probably is a good idea to look closely at the EULA. I certainly didn't like the advertising. Then that is part of the proposition. There's a thread on the Skype Forum here. http://forum.skype.com/viewtopic.php?t=22255&highlight=

It appears to work. But it also appears to use a proprietary audio format. What a shame, as this makes it that much harder to use for things like podcasting. The only route I can see is to use Hotrecorder to capture the skype call, and then to play it back and capture it again with something that grabs sound output.

Wonder how this will effect SAM and Pamela Proffessional due out later.

Impossible to uninstall, cannot use Add/Delete programs. The link in the "Programs" menu fails and the program in the Program Files is a dummy - does nothing except ask a question and does not uninstall - BEWARE! This could be a spyware scam. I still cannot get it off my machine.

Walter,
Thanks very much for your warning. Add/Remove was not something I tried before posting. I uninstalled using start / all programs / hotrecorder/uninstall. Hotrecorder was not running in the system tray when I did this. I asked Bill to try it via add/remove and he clearly couldn’t see it either. After using the above method I checked the program files folder. While a Hotrecorder folder was still there, it only contained the recorded conversations I had tested with. Bill using the same approach removed it from his machine. I agree it should link to the add / delete programs. United Virtualities appears to have a “reputation”, I know of no one so far that has identified any spam components in Hotrecorder.

If you remain concerned my approach is to use the Window’s system restore function and take the system back to just before you added hotrecorder. Many times I’ll use that approach after installing something that doesn’t work correctly. Unfortunately, if you have added other programs as well since hotrecorder then this action forces you to reinstall those. It also pays to create a hard restore point before installing new software. You won’t lose data files created for those programs.

If Hotrecorder was broken by deleting some files... you can reinstall it and then remove it using the start /all programs/hotrecorder/uninstall approach.

The features are cool, but the window pop-up on every skype action is irritating. Also, sometimes it crashes skype.

Good ideas, mediocre UI and lack of sleek integration.

To go further on what stuart said regarding the advertisments - I think it's a wrong strategy. If you quickly develop a feel of detest to a software, you'll be less prone to purchase a license for it.

With HotRecorder you can always uninstall the unit whenever you want, but you need to close the HotRecorder application by clicking on the icon in the system tray to uninstall successfully. If you are having any problems, you can always contact support@hotrecorder.com and they will help you immediately.

HotRecorder claims to have a convert to .wav or .ogg feature with the premium version. That should remove the problem with the proprietary format.

the premium version of HotRecorder has a converter to .wav or .ogg, so taking this file into an audio editor make it easy for podcasting

There's now a Skype recorder for Mac users:

It ties into Skype just wonderfully!

Use vEmotion
to record other VOIP clients. It provides music sharing for Skype users.

Yes. vEmotion is a great program. I use it to share music with my friends and record ICQ / Yahoo voice. But why not provide Skype recording?

Hi Guys,

I have bought the paid version and am using a usb phone but am having no end of trouble recording both sides of the phone call. Everytime I can hear the person I am calling but not me. Any suggestions? It is driving me crazy

Cheers

Brad

It's Great!

Check the new free beta - SoliCall - it works great with all softphones. In addition it reduces background noise thus making the call more relaxed.
