When recording a video on webcam it's very choppy

[Minime88]

I have a Labtec webcam and when I choose to record a video then the picture on the monitor that shows what you're recording becomes choppy and very slow. Is this got to do with something like a codec?

Thanks!

This could be caused by a poor quality webcam or bad driver. What program do you use to view the picture on the monitor?

I use a downloaded program from Labtec website, I think its the only thing you can download for Labtec's webcams.
