Freeware Webcam Capture/Record Software

[TheCosmicFrog]

Hi guys,

I'm new to the forums but have been subscribed to the RSS feed for a while. Apologies for creating a thread as my first post, but I deemed this the best place to ask this question.

I recently bought a laptop with a built-in webcam (MSI GX620 for the curious ones). It initially came with Windows Vista, but I quickly formatted and installed Windows 7. Unfortunately, Windows Vista came with a decent webcam software called CrazyTalk - it allowed capture and video recording, as well as editing and image warping - a la Mac's Photo Booth app.

Now I have no good software to utilize my webcam. Does anyone know of any decent open-source webcam capture/record software?

Thanking you in advance for your help,
Aaron, Ireland.

Thanks for letting us know

They surely must have software for Windows 7 Webcams, even if they have to give you some software from another model
