Video recording program supplied with Vista?

I've been having problems with my Logitech Pro 9000 webcam and Skype and
uninstalled the Logitech QuickCam software which allowed me to make my own
webcam videos.

Is there a program built into Vista (Home Premium) that accomplishes the
same function? Thanks, DH

you can capture video from a webcam device using the movie maker application
included with vista

I did open Windows Movie Maker but could not find 'Record'. I did see
'Import from Digital Video Camera' but when I clicked on that, received a
message ... could not find a compatible digital device, etc.

Does this program accept video input from a webcam?

I appreciate all your help in this but your screen looks different than
mine. The version of Windows Movie Maker I have is 6.0.6000.16386.

I'm not new to computers at all and I can't find Capture Video _anywhere_ in
this program. I can _import_ any files I have in my Video or Webcam folder
but I can not find a way to actually record in real time using my webcam. I
should add that my version of Vista Home Premium was purchased in Europe
(preinstalled on a new Dell computer purchased earlier this year).

I am stumped. DH

sorry you are correct.. I assumed it was the same as XP, but I booted into
vista and saw that that option was missing. I will look better later since I
am sure there is some way.. but I have to finish some work on XP.
(I have a dual boot)

Hey bozo...try installing Vista if want to help others who are actually
using Vista.
Tell me...how can anyone be such a fool like you are on a daily basis?
You think ANYONE believes one word of your Vista hatred diatribes?
You're really nuts you know that.

>Tell me...how can anyone be such a fool like you are on a daily basis?

I will explain. I say things that are correct but need at least an average
brain to understand...
this information then passes through your dork brain and it gets distorted
since most of the time you cant even comprehend what the heck im talking
about...
thats why you think I am the fool.

If you two don't don't behave I'll stop the car right now ... and no ice
cream tonight.

OK.

Can anyone help me here?

Define what you mean by video recording to get more specific replies.

Movie Maker which comes with Vista is capable of capturing video
streams from some cameras. From there you can edit it, sort of, but
crude. You could try Microsoft's free Media Encoder too. If you want
to capture streaming video from some web site that's another issue.

If you're looking for free or shareware solutions a good place to look
around or ask is http://www.vcdhelp.com they have lots of how-to and
active forums on a wide range of video topics.
