I know that this is a little after the fact, and I know that these do not fulfill all of your requirements, BUT…

I like wetoku.com for the one-on-one interview. But it is a beta and was unable to sign into it tonight (which is why I was searching and stumbled across this post.

I ended up recording my interview using VOD Burner for Skype. But it requires installation and has a subscription fee after 30 days to get rid of a watermark.

I also love Tokbox, but just wish that it would record sessions…

Thank for the information. In my view Streaming Video Recorder is a powerful video stream recorder tool to help you record online streaming video and record streaming movies to your local disk, and save as video files in any popular format like AVI, MPEG-4, WMV, WMA, 3GP, MOV, M4V, AC3,MP3, ACC, etc.

You might try Vokle (www.vokle.com) – no internal recording yet but I use Screenflow on my mac to record

I think Oovoo might do this for you.

They charge for more than two people on a video call, like you mention with Skypasaurus, but it's part of the system.

According to their site, all two people calls are free.

I think it allows you to record. I haven't tried it because I signed up a few months ago and then I wasn't able to find anyone to test it with me.

Just posting an update here. My problem was easily solved by using a set of s-video input cards and an s-video splitter that takes the wirecast output to my four skype computers. Broadcasting re-runs is a whole other matter that is difficult though without a tricaster, which Leo uses on TWiT.

I just built the same skype-a-saurus that Leo Leporte did. I just exchanged the fans on the four computers to reduce noise. It works great! I use Wirecast to stream + record everything live to ustream.tv. What I am working on now is a way to stream the finished wirecast product back to the skype callers. Right now they cannot see the finished product except for on ustream.tv during live stream, which is not sufficient due to the 5-15 second delay for the live feed depending where in the world the skype caller is.

Closest I can think of it tokbox.com plus screentoaster.com; nothing to download, but not in one package.

I really like Jing and almost upgraded to Pro for the compression, but I discovered a 5-minute recording limitation. Looks like it's CallRecorder for now.

I'm curious if it can handle an hour long conference, though. At what point do my HD space and memory completely fill up?

@Kenny, thanks for the reply! I did say “free or paid”! *ahem*

The business model of “freemium” has a lot of advantages over a custom solution, because a custom solution is developed to very particular specifications and then fades into obsolescence, so I'm less inclined to that approach.

My persuasion is that a (good) web app will have an on-going subscriptions that provide enough revenue to keep it sustainable with a sizeable user base to provide feedback to keep improving the app.

As for teaching an online class, there are some good things we can learn from distance education on how to do that. It may be sufficient to teach a multi-user class via an off-the-shelf webinar service, and then use the chat room for discussion and Q&A.

DJ, you're asking for a lot...for free.

But this also sounds like the classic start-up business seed of thought.

I'm personally looking for a solution so that I can teach a multi-user class (say 20-30 people online for www.liquidchurch.com

The requirements would be to be able to stream a video from a DVD or my PC and then be able to moderate a multi-user video conf like tokbox.com

Anyone have suggestions?

DJ - if bloggingheads.tv can do it with open source solutions out there, I'm sure you would be able to create your own custom solution too. It might be interesting just to test the waters and post a gig on www.rentacoder.com or www.elance.com and see where the bids come in at.
