Windows video conversion software which can capture media from different online sources including video chat sessions.

WM Recorder 16.8 is a shareware video recorder and converter developed by applian Technologies for Windows, it's well-designed and efficient.

WM Recorder can capture whatever is being displayed on your computer screen. This way, you can use it to record gaming experiences, tutorials, as well as streaming video and audio. Likewise, it can download media in batches from well-known video-sharing sites, such as YouTube. Fortunately, it supports capturing various media formats. One of its most valuable assets is that it can record in a background mode.

The application comes as a bundle of various tools, including Screen Recorder, Stream Recorder, WM Audio and WM Converter. I find this particularly confusing as frequent switching between these tools becomes necessary. However, I have to agree that some users may feel more comfortable if they do not have to deal with all the features from a single window.
