It seems I cannot find anymore online a DECENT webcam recording program that is 100% FREE (no trials, limitations, advertisements, et cetera) that can record my webcam to a .avi video file. I've tried the FreeWebcamRecorder executable, but for some reason, a 10 minute video saves at a size of over 5 GIGAbytes! I will not cope with a program that creates such large video files EVEN WITH the lowest quality settings. I've also tried Windows Movie Maker's capture thingy, but it cannot locate a SINGLE ONE of my 2 webcams of Ezonics and Logitech Quickcam Communicate STX, and yes it is running as an administrator. I've tried MAGIX movie maker's recorder, but it makes the pictures way faster than the audio.
If ANYONE can give me any suggestions, PLEASE let me know! This is frustrating me really badly... I mean, the internet has for free Microsoft Windows Movie Maker which is an intermediate movie maker with many effects, transitions, and options, but first off its camera capture thing doesn't work, and worse yet the internet doesn't have a decent free and simple webcam capture program that captures .avi's NOT image files and WORKS (doesn't unsynch video and audio or crash like WinAVI capture or save in gigabytes for 10 minutes like FreeWebcamRecorder)
