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!

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
