Great for demos and training. Once you have installed it look back at this site for additional info on the various codecs. There is also a help document that gets installed along with the program - go to the encoder listing in the start menu and find the info file listed along with the program. It takes a while to learn this - it sure would be nice to have better docs and more publicity since this is an awesome tool for schools.

With a little bit of messing about with the audio settings on Windows and the program audacity, you can record skype calls for free. I've got the details on my blog at <a href="http://stigmergicweb.org/index.php/archives/2004/12/22/recording-skype-for-podcasting-a-possible-solution" rel="nofollow">http://stigmergicweb.org/index.php/archives/2004/12/22/recording-skype-for-podcasting-a-possible-solution</a> and you can download audacity (free software) at <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net" rel="nofollow">http://audacity.sourceforge.net</a> If you want to give it a try, let me know - my skype handle is omegageek.
