What programs are there to record webcams for Windows 7/Vista?
Likely, you already have one on your computer — and it’s free! Its called Windows Movie Maker. (Linux users, read on)
Yes, that’s right. The up-to-date movie maker actually has a feature to record webcam, and it works just fine. Most people ignore Movie Maker for even basic editing now since it seems weak compared to other free movie editors.
If you would like to download Windows Movie Maker, just visit the website: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/movie-maker-get-started
Just start Movie Maker, and on the “Home” tab press “Webcam Video”. Just hit the record button to get started, and save when you are done. It is that simple!
If you have Linux, you should check out Cheese.

Cheese is a basic video recording and picture taking program for Linux. Your disto probably has its own package for Cheese as it is a fairly common program.
