TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2005 Well, I'll not go too far into details, but if I was watching something a friend was doing, and I wanted to keep it for embarressing them at a later date, for example.. is there any way to do it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 If you mean remote control, I don't know, but if you're at the computer the webcam is hooked up to then all you need is software like this If it's one of those "This web site takes a new picture of my room every 30 seconds" pages, you just right click and save as the pictures.

Downhome 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 I think he is asking if there is a way to record a webcam you are watching. Me thinks that TheFranchise has been talking a chick he knows into stripping on her cam, and he's wanting to record THAT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yankovic fan 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 You can use an outside camera to record it. As far as software, I know of none. I've taken a few pictures with my cell phone's camera feature whenever a girl does something interesting, but nothing really worth writing home about. Get one of them DVD burning camcorders.

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 Me thinks that TheFranchise has been talking a chick he knows into stripping on her cam, and he's wanting to record THAT. Yes, and no. Yes as in, it's my girlfriend that I'm watching. Not 100% sure how she'd feel about me taping for future references, though. And I didn't have to talk her into it, she wanted to do it for me But if anyone finds a way, please let me (and others obviously..) know edit: I posted this in here and not LSD for avoidance of your type of response anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2005 While i'm on this, would it not be possible to record the whole screen? Like people do when recording games they're playing? *should have used that idea originally in the first post* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted March 14, 2005 If that's the case you just hit the print screen key on your keyboard, then paste it into any image-editing software program and save. Duh. I don't know about how to record the video itself, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2005 You can thank me later: I did a simple Yahoo search for, *gasp*, ""record a webcam" and the second result listed was the following site: http://www.mess.be/msnmessengerfaq/idx/18/060/inews.htm From there, they list a link to this program: http://www.techsmith.com/download/camdl.asp Then you can go into LimeWire and search for Camtasia, and it'll bring up a zip file of the program, with the serial number. I've downloaded it to test the program, and it works. You put a little box around whatever you want to record that is on your computer screen. I've had no problems with it so far. Here is a test video I did of me typing on my screen. When you use Camtasia, it seems to save the video in AVI format. I've taken the small test video I made and turned it into this little GIF here so I can post in this thread to show you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted March 16, 2005 Wait what did you use to make an .avi into an animated .gif? I've been looking for one of those for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2005 Wait what did you use to make an .avi into an animated .gif? I've been looking for one of those for a while. VirtualDub can save the frames of a movie as a series of images. Use your favorite image program to go from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
