Ambrosia's Wire Tap. I'll check it out.
Lately I've attempted to screencast Skype interviews using iShowU for
the Mac. (I am also going to try it with JingProject on my PC.) I want
to upload video interviews of history teachers discussing "best
practices" to the NCSS Community Network. The problem I'm having
screencasting these interviews is synching the video and audio. The
audio records a second or two behind the video.
