You quickly install and run the Skype application.

You have a video or audio Skype call on your Macintosh with a family member, a friend, a co-worker, or a business partner.

I'll certainly update this post if I hear anything.Let me give you a simple scenario. I have, of course, written to ECAMM (yesterday, before considering posting here), but have not yet heard back. If that's it, then there is probably a bug in the program. So far, it's the only thing that makes sense to me, though I don't know how or why such a thing might have occurred. I wonder if there's a chance that the application created a new Saved Calls folder at that time and it overwrote the original one (and all its files). And Skype had been opened somewhere around the same time (9/20 at 11:17 PM). The folder was actually created (by the application) over a week before that.Ĭall Recorder opens automatically when Skype is opened. That made some sense to me, but what was bizarre is that the Created date was exactly the same. It had a Modified date of September 20 at 11:17 PM, just around the time of the files' disappearance and reappearance (though I don't know whether they disappeared the second time after or before, or at, that time). Yesterday, the day after the files first disappeared (then reappeared), upon discovering that they were gone again, I used Finder's 'Get Info' command for the Saved Calls folder. Thank you.Īn important detail I omitted from the original post: I think my computer has many 'issues,' but that's a whole other story, which I hope to post at length when I have more than a minute.Īny thoughts, however speculative, would be most appreciated. This time I am absolutely certain I did nothing to cause the files to vanish. It's not the first time that a file has mysteriously vanished from this machine, but in the past I couldn't be sure it wasn't operator error (and I was able to use recovery software to get those files back).

But, of course, they should not have vanished on their own. Just test recordings, so I'm not heartbroken. I've tried restarting, booting from an external drive, repeating the global search, questioning the cat, etc. Nothing in the trash except files that were older than the recordings. I got up next morning and the folder was empty again. It was late, so I put the computer to sleep. I restarted the computer and opened the folder again. I did a global search for video files made within the week or so I had the program installed.

A couple of nights ago, I opened the Saved Calls folder, in order to show the results to my companion (she had been away and was the person on the other end of three of the calls). I played one of them back again a couple of days later. I made test recordings of four or five calls. The application records both sides of a Skype call (there's a version for FaceTime, too), then automatically saves it (as a QuickTime movie) to a folder called Saved Calls, which it puts into the Movies folder.

I tried it out, liked it, then bought the full version. I downloaded ECAMM Call Recorder for Skype a week and a half ago, in order to record video calls.
