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 - and here is a direct link to Amcap.exe

If it's publicly available I don't see a problem with it – Ivo Flipse♦ Aug 29 '10 at 12:08

Loads of apps out there. Here are two alternatives:

VLC: If you already have VLC media player, it can record from your webcam directly into a video file.

OneNote: Part of Microsoft Office, it records video into the current notebook.

Picasa --> can capture photos and videos with your webcam. – ytk Aug 31 '10 at 10:31
