I want to record a video on my webcam on Lenovo T61 powered by Windows 7 Professional. I've noticed it's working differently from Windows XP. Can anyone care to recommend a decent webcam software that I can use for recording video?
Thanks!

I find the best and quickest program to be Microsoft AMcap.
It works via native DirectX functions and is very lightweight.
It is a free utility available through the DirectX SDK

Loads of apps out there. Here are a few alternatives:
VLC: If you already have VLC media player, it can record from your webcam directly into a video file. See this page for how it's done.
OneNote: Part of Microsoft Office, it records video into the current notebook.

You don't need a tutorial. All you need to know is that there is a button in Picasa's toolbar which looks like a webcam with a little arrow. Fifth button to the right of the "Import" button, in my version 3.9.0. – Evgeni Sergeev – 2013-03-29T04:55:11.100

Mimimalistic answer, but the Movie Maker should really be able to do that... – FiveO – 2013-01-16T07:24:36.913
