I just built the same skype-a-saurus that Leo Leporte did. I just exchanged the fans on the four computers to reduce noise. It works great! I use Wirecast to stream + record everything live to ustream.tv. What I am working on now is a way to stream the finished wirecast product back to the skype callers. Right now they cannot see the finished product except for on ustream.tv during live stream, which is not sufficient due to the 5-15 second delay for the live feed depending where in the world the skype caller is.

Closest I can think of it tokbox.com plus screentoaster.com; nothing to download, but not in one package.

I really like Jing and almost upgraded to Pro for the compression, but I discovered a 5-minute recording limitation. Looks like it's CallRecorder for now.

I'm curious if it can handle an hour long conference, though. At what point do my HD space and memory completely fill up?

@Kenny, thanks for the reply! I did say "free or PAID"! :) *ahem*

The business model of "freemium" has a lot of advantages over a custom solution, because a custom solution is developed to very particular specifications and then fades into obsolescence, so I'm less inclined to that approach.

My persuasion is that a (good) web app will have an on-going subscriptions that provide enough revenue to keep it sustainable with a sizeable user base to provide feedback to keep improving the app.

As for teaching an online class, there are some good things we can learn from distance education on how to do that. It may be sufficient to teach a multi-user class via an off-the-shelf webinar service, and then use the chat room for discussion and Q&A.

DJ, you're asking for a lot...for free.

But this also sounds like the classic start-up business seed of thought.

I'm personally looking for a solution so that I can teach a multi-user class (say 20-30 people online for www.liquidchurch.com

The requirements would be to be able to stream a video from a DVD or my PC and then be able to moderate a multi-user video conf like tokbox.com

Anyone have suggestions?

DJ - if bloggingheads.tv can do it with open source solutions out there, I'm sure you would be able to create your own custom solution too. It might be interesting just to test the waters and post a gig on www.rentacoder.com or www.elance.com and see where the bids come in at.

@Steve, @Mike, @Damon: yes, yes, and yes. There are several software ways to get a video chat recorded, but again, that requires software download & installation on the producers part. So thanks for pointing

I'm really looking for the web app that will take care of the whole deal seamlessly!

Hi DJ,

While we don't have recording on Tokbox just yet, some folks have been apparently using Jing to do so. More info on Jing: http://www.jingproject.com/

Moderation is most certainly being worked on:)

DJ,

FYI -- Tripp Fuller uses CallRecorder to produce split-screen video interviews like this one, with Tony Jones:
