hey, dont know where i should post that thread... i hope here is someone who can help me...

i bought a cheap webcam on ebay to make my rec_videos!

today i want to start with that, but im to stupid or something like that.

im clicking the button "start captue" the only think that happens is that a window opens and i have to choose a file...

i dont know what to do next... cant choose any file... nothing works...

is it possible at all to make a video with a web cam?

thanks for your help my friends!

Sure it is possible man, what software are you using for capturing?

Have you tried typing in a NEW file name for the capture to write/save into? That's what this window sounds like, a "save" dialog asking you what file name to use when saving the capture.

Webcams usually come packed with their own drivers and capture program. Are you sure you installed it all?

Maybe upload a screenshot for us so we can see what the software you mention looks like

but now i get it.
i forgot to make a *.wmp file...

on the first day i called that file "new" and it doesnt work, now i called new.wmp and it works...
