How to record video and audio from webcam and internal mic

#1 Post by wusuli » Mon Aug 25, 2008 1:17 pm

I want to use my T61 to record a piece of video from the integrated webcam, including sound via the internal microphone, for my presentation. Please advice me which software I should use to accomplish this task.

In addition, I tried to use demo-version AmCap. But it could not capture the audio.

Thanks.

If you want something cheap (free) that is already loaded on your system, just use Windows Movie Maker. It'll capture the video/audio from your built in webcam with no problems.

Hi,

since the 61er series it´s only possible using a third party hardware.

I don't think this applies, since he's trying to capture from the microphone, not the Stereo Mix source.

First of all, Thank all of you guys for your inputs.

To s1148625, Vista Movie Maker will not work with the integrated webcam, which is clearly pointed out by Lenovo.

Yes, I only want to record video from the webcam with sound from the internal microphone.

Please recommend which piece of software can do the job. I would appreciate your any advice.

In addition, Yahoo Messenger works perfectly with my webcam and internal mic.
