Recording webcam seesions

Hi all

I understand there are freeware packages out there to do this but wondered if anyone has tried any and had good success ?

Any recommendations

Many thanks

Mike

I use the one that came with Logitech webcam Pro4000...it works fine...

I'd use Windows Media Encoder. Google for it. You can select an area of the screen - e.g. the webcam window - and record for however long you like. Free, too.

Why else would you want to record it though

Yeh I'm pretty bored : You got a link to this webcam so that I can correlate transport protocols with an appropriate capture device....

I'll do some vigorous testing for you also for free [ Replace vigorous with dedicated ]

Well, that's a good question... I suppose I'd have to see the relevant recordings to take a guess.

Anyway, are you admitting to something here Pia??!!

Hypercam, brilliant little tool.

Free version puts tiny logo top of each video but you don't really notice it.

I'd never dream of doing such a thing, i'm a classy bird you know

, but i'm intrigued as to why you'd want to record webcam if you weren't doing something other than sitting looking at a screen

It's for his cybering session with the girls he has on msn.

I would never suggest otherwise...! Anyway, it's your fault for putting ideas into my head

I use VisionGS (http://www.visiongs.de/). Personal Edition is free, Business Edition has some useful extras and doesn't cost a great deal. I use this application at work with webcams as a cheap security camera, out-of-hours images stored on a server for six weeks. The application also has a motion detection function.
