Recording Skype

I know this has been discussed before but after a five minutes or so digging around I can't find anything.
LA traffic being as it is someone 23 miles away during the weekday may as well be on mars so I've resorted to subsidizing some of my learning with skype.
Is there any free software for mac that records snippets of skype calls? I downloaded "callnote" and I'm just getting the audio and 1 second of video then it freezes. If not free I'd be willing to pay a bit if it's worth it to have something nicer.
Anyone have a good go to?
Thanks!

Screen capture is what you're trying to do and its super easy on a Mac.

I'm pretty sure you just open quicktime and hit record. Select "Soundflower" (ch2) as your audio.

Ah, yeah, thanks! I got it to record the screen but it will only gather audio from the mic, which will work if anything but it'd be nice if it recorded straight without the mic. I don't have "sunflower" as an option. Only, internal mic, line input, and the Mic from my USB...

Soundflower is open access. Search on online and download it. I use it for capturing audio on a Mac e.g. grabbing a fragment of a youtube video rather than converting the whole thing.

However I am not able to hear the audio at the same time as recording. But I may well be doing it wrong?

To get sound back I use Audacity with Soundflower as an input source

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure on linux you could use 'jack' for this. No idea if that exists for Mac.
