This is a software tool that lets MSN video chats to be recorded and saved as AVI files.
There is a huge number of users for the MSN instant messenger. But MS does not provide any tools for recording video chats. This is a tool that can provide the recording facility and have the video file saved in AVI format. This tool provides an easy way to record online conversations, online interviews, conferences, lessons, podcasts, or family VoIP calls. You will be able to record audio only calls also. These could be from Skype voice mail as well as video chat. Since this is not multi frame screen capture, the recording quality is quite good. You can keep changing open, close and resize messenger window during a recording session. The interface is intuitive enough for anybody to get started easily. The main part of the interface has a record and pause button with time length indication for the recording.
A list display of recent recordings is available so that if the recording file is to be renamed, you can avoid duplicating an existing name. Picture-in-Picture, Side-by-Side, Remote-Only, or Local-Only modes are available for you to choose from for the recording. While picture in picture recording can be done, you could record them as two separate streams too. As webcams improve, the lack of compressed video may start to become an issue. AVI generates large files and support of some compressions would have been useful. A handy tool otherwise.
