Download Now>> First close Skype if you have other recording products installed*.  Now click here to download the installer.  Run the installer then start VodBurner.  You can make and receive calls directly from VodBurner – Skype does not need to be running.

(*Other recording products may cause VodBurner to malfunction, so it’s important you close Skype if you have one of these.  You don’t need Skype running in order to make and record calls with VodBurner).

Features:

• “What you see is what you get” recording panel.
• Record direct to MOV, MP4, M4A and other formats.
• Record video + audio or audio only.
• Capture both sides, other side only or this side only.
• Switch between sides with hotkey during call.
• Choose between letterboxed or zoomed view.
• Recording is available instantly after the call.
• Make and receive calls directly from within VodBurner – no need to start Skype.

VodBurner for Mac records Skype video and audio calls.  To use it you will need Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion) or later.  You don’t need to have Skype installed, but if it is, that is fine also.

Once you’ve installed and started VodBurner for Mac, just sign in with your existing Skype account.  (If you don’t have a Skype account you will need to install Skype and use it to set up an account).

When you sign in for the first time there will be a short delay (around 30 seconds) while VodBurner initializes your settings.

After this will see your Skype contacts listed.  To make a call, move the mouse over the contact so that the green call button appears, then click it to make a call.  Alternatively, if someone calls you, you will see an “Answer” button.

Once the call is started you will see a video window showing you and the other party.  Move the mouse over the video window to see the recording controls.  Click the large record button at bottom center of the window to commence recording.

VodBurner will record the window exactly as you see it (except for the recording controls of course).  You can control who appears, and where, by clicking the small cogwheel icon, and choosing the “Show>Layout” menu item.  You can also control whether the video is zoomed or letterboxed by choosing “Show>Zoom”.

To finish recording, click the stop button, or click the red hang-up button to finish the call.

After the recording is stopped, you will see a triangular “play” button in the contact list, next to your contact.  Click it to bring the recording up in the Mac Finder.  Double-click the file in Finder to play it back in QuickTime or other default player.

You will notice that the recording is in MOV format.  VodBurner can also create MP4 and M4V files (as well as M4A and WAV if you only wish to record audio).  These options are available under the cogwheel icon mentioned above: under the Format submenu.

If you have any questions or issues, please contact VodBurner support.

If you installed the application “Evaer” at any time in the past, you will need to uninstall it via the Windows control panel, then manually remove the file “C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\d3d9.dll”, which is installed by Evaer but not removed by its uninstaller.  (If you installed an older version of Evaer, you will also need to manually remove the folder “C:\Program Files (x86)\Evaer”  – you may need to start Windows in safe mode to be able to do this).

If you installed any other Skype recording application (e.g. Replay telecorder, Applian, Pamela, Super-tin-tin or IM-Capture), uninstallation of that application should resolve any issues with VodBurner.  However if you find that problems do persist, we recommend a Windows System Restore (Control Panel > System and Security > Action Center > Recovery) back to a point prior to installing the other application, followed by reinstallation of VodBurner.

If you have uninstalled these applications but still have problems, please click here to contact technical support.

Follow the steps below and you should be up and running in less than five minutes.

1. Run the installer when prompted by your browser.

2. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard.

3. The VodBurner licensing and startup wizards will be displayed.

4. Follow these installation instructions to ensure that VodBurner can properly connect to Skype:

Installation instructions
Skype should show an “Allow access” button near the top right hand side of the main Skype window. Click it to allow VodBurner to connect to Skype. (NOTE: If the right-hand panel is hidden in your Skype, Skype will instead pop up a separate window for you to allow access).

If you don’t see the button, go to Tools > Options > Advanced and click “Manage other programs access to Skype” near the bottom of the page. If VodBurner appears in the list, click it and click the “Change” button to alter permissions.

If VodBurner is not in the list, reboot your PC and try again.

If you still don’t see it, it is possible that security software is getting in the way. For example, Auslogics has an option to disable the Skype public API. Turning this option off (or similar options in other products) should resolve the issue.
