Windows 7 Webcam recording software

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.

• Google's Picasa See this tutorial.

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

Microsoft Movie Maker - press the "webcam video" button
