Everytime I launch Skype 6.3 on Mac OSX 10.8.3 it crashes.
I don't have these installed-
I uninstalled Skype and re-installed it, no change.
I had the same problem with 6.2 running on 10.8.2
Downgrading to 6.0 worked, but Skype kept on upgrading itself to 6.2 in the background, resulting in the crash again.
I've done lots of permission repair and restarts to no avail.
here's part of crash report-

Does this help narrow it down?

I don't have ecamm recorder on my computer anymore, but I did at one point. My guess is there are still some files somewhere that are causing skype to crash. Any ideas where I should look for these files?
You can download their installer, which will also allow you to uninstall it.
Otherwise, you can check for the existence of /Library/InputManagers/Ecamm/ and its content. Be careful, it's not "~/Library/InputManagers/", which means it's not the "Library" folder in your home directoy, but the one at the root of your disk.
You can access it by opening Finder, and in the "Go" menu, select "Go to Folder…", and enter (without the quotes) "/Library/InputManagers/", and then look for an Ecamm folder :-)

I have the same problem.
I also had this problem before when I was running OS X 10.8.2 and I was hoping that the update would fix it. No Luck. Have to switch to google chat or facetime.
