I have two problems -

1. When doing a Skype video call, I can't see the other person. Skype says both my input and output are fast/good.

2. I need a good recording program that will save both sides at once in a podcast.

I've been playing around with Vodburner, but it seems to be very temperamental. I can't get anything longer than 30 seconds to save and even when if it does save, the file isn't compatible with Windows Live Movie Maker, even when I change the extension to .MP4 or .WMV. I tried to downlowd the format changer http://www.mediacoderhq.com/ that Vodburner suggests, but only got errors.

I'm using Windows 7 with 62 GB free.
