need software to record videos with webcam
« on: Jun 04, 2008, 05:47: AM »
no its not for recording gay toying sessions on msn to borg and melbourne. im looking for free and reliable software to record videos with my parents webcam on there laptop to get my guitar hero thread up and going. i made a short vid already with a digital camera but it didnt record volume so its useless.

any suggestions?

I don't understand? You want a software program that can support your webcam on your laptop?

What type of software? I think the webcam can record by itself, no?

the webcam i used to do the pro evo vids ages ago had free software with it to record videos but it was crap quality. but with my parents laptop which has a built in webcam doesnt have any free software unless theres a way of using your webcam to record in windows movie maker. my computer is in the other part of my bedroom and the webcam cable wouldnt be long enough to reach the tv.

ive found 2 softwares so far but my parents are always too wary of having software installed onto there computers.

Yeah, you can use WMM. There's a capture feature in it I believe. ;)

i think hes trying to record stuff from his tv using his webcam. as i say wmm has that feature but uses a lot of memory for shit webcam quality. you can record directly from your tv by buying dazzle. or there are probably (this is i think what hes asking for) webcam downloadable softwares that lets you record using webcam you already have, but still shit quality.

i say use wmm, then put the resultant footage through wmm to lower the massive size. but still, youre limited by your webcams quality capacity.

im using software called "Debut" for some reason on my parents laptop wmm wont let me record using my webcam and it does take up a lot of room and takes for ever to upload on to youtube so ive been using "Debut" which takes around 45mb and converting the files to 3gp or mp4 from avi on zamzar.com so it takes up less space. around 10-15mb meaning i can upload it faster on youtube.

Debut website. i downloaded it because it was free and couldnt be arsed with 30 day trials.
