Access the Call Recorder settings by clicking the settings icon in the Call Recorder window above.

Audio Encoding: Choose your compression method. AAC compression is recommended for Macs with a fast processor. For slower Macs, 2:1 compression can be

used. If you would like to record with no audio compression, this option is also provided, however it will result in very large recording files.

Audio Quality: Indicates the quality of the recordings. Higher quality recording will sound better but will consume more disk space.

Video Encoding: Choose your video compression method. Available options are H.264, MPEG-4, or JPEG compression. H.264 and MPEG-4 will provide very low data rates. H.264 playback requires the latest version of QuickTime and may not be playable by users with older QuickTime versions. JPEG is the most

compatible format.

Video Image Size: Choose image pixel dimensions for the recorded video. The smaller sizes are recommended for slower computers which might not be able to sustain encoding of 640x480 sized video.

Video Frame Rate: Choose a frame rate for the video recording. This settings provides a maximum value for the movie frame rate. Maximum will record all frames from the call.

Record Video: Select how the video is recorded. Options include:

None (Audio Only): No video is recorded, just audio.

Local Only: Only the local side (video from your camera) will recorded.

Remote Only: Only the remote side (video from the other participant(s)) will recorded.

Split Screen: Record video from each side of the call, with each side taking up a portion the picture. Picture-in-Picture: Record video from both sides of the call in picture-in-picture format. The recorded

video will look like you see it during the call, with your video inset within the remote video. Multi-Track: Records local and remote tracks as separate video tracks within the QuickTime movie. The tracks can then be split into separate video files using QuickTime Player Pro or the included Split Movie Tracks utility.

Show Recording Indicator On Video: This option will show a flashing red indicator in the top-left corner of your outgoing video. This is to provide a visual reminder to the call participants that the call is being recorded.

Show Recording Controls At Launch: This option will show the floating controller window every time Skype is launched.
