I would love an app that would record both the video and audio in iChat

This is a question, I am not sure what the answer is and I would be curious to hear someone's thoughts who is more familiar with this area of law. If I remember the Clinton impeachment proceedings correctly, Linda Tripp's recordings of her conversations with Monica Lewinsky were made illegally because Monica did not consent to them and the law of the state (Maryland I believe) prohibited recordings without consent. How broadly are these laws written and could (and to beg a flame war, should) this kind of internet conversation be covered under them?

Snapz Pro X will record your iChat video for you; the next update will add the WireTap audio recording to it, as well as radically increased video capture rates. See here for more information:

First, its tricky about telecommunications laws and regular laws (the ol' it might be OK to record someone at lunch, but not over the phone). Second, with telecommunications its tricky, because the FCC still hasn't called cable internet service a telecommunication service (not covered by the same laws the phone lines are). Third, its probably a state by state thing as well (as you say, we Marylanders have to tell the other side we're recording you, and if you notice when you call customer support lines, they always tell you that you might be recorded, probably to cover themselves.

So, after all of that, I'd say you'd be safest just to make sure you tell the other side (or just don't reveal the tape or conversations to others. Do you want to be heard all over the country snapping your gum talking about sexing it up with the president?)

It's a great, FREE gift to us Mac OS X users from Ambrosia, and they should be HEARTILY thanked for it.

Prior to this, to record Real Audio or WMA streamed audio you had to either jury-rig an analog solution (plug your speaker output into your mic input, if you have one), or purchase a $17 software app (Audio Hijack, which offers a LOT more features than this and is VERY worth the money IMHO -- the $30 AH Pro records direct to MP3, for example).

However, many people just have ONE thing they'd like to record from RA or WMA, say for example a weekly BBC programme. Wiretap lets this happen without undue expense for "light needs" users.

Further, Wiretap can be used to record audio iChatAV chats. With another program (Audio In), you can record BOTH sides of the conversation (with Wiretap alone, only the incoming audio is recorded).

Again, many thanks to Ambrosia, who are a great Mac developer with great Mac products, and who deserve your support.
