How a record a video with my computer webcam?

How to save a video of me using the webcam installed in the top of the screen of my computer?

What is the make/model of your PC and a webcam that you are trying to record with?
Also, what version of Vista are you running?  (Home, Basic, Ultimate etc)

You can use Windows Movie Maker to make videos on your computer included in all the current version of Windows.  The Beta version is also available for free on http://download.live.com/ download (in case you use Windows 7 Beta, as it is not included)

-Thank you

    When you use the feature of video in presenter 8 +, it records a stand-alone webcam WMV. While the workflow is not as clean as before, it can be inserted in all as a video in the sidebar without the background screenshot. Here's how you can do:

    • The creator of video Presenter allows to record your video. Do not hold account that your screen is captured, you do not use.
    • Once you record your video, save your project. Not to publish, as the published output is useless for you.
    • Back to the presenter, choose to insert video.
    • Access your webcam capture (My Documents > my video projects Adobe Presenter > {what ever you named capture} > mt). Should be named something like presenter_video1.wmv
    • Presenter converts to FLV format, you can select the quality and the location, slide, or the sidebar, as in previous versions of the presenter.

    If you wish, you can use a video conversion 3rd party tool to convert video WMV, but maybe that's not necessary.

    (It's a way of many - that the answer does not depend on your OS, but on the software you use to interface with your webcam.  Camtasia?  Skype?  etc and so on...)

    In addition, to find this information is quite simple.  Once I decided on what software to go with in my response to you (I chose Windows Movie Maker 12 because it's easy to get, free, Microsoft, similar to products that were previously found with Windows) I did a simple search on Google:

  • How can I download videos with RealPlayer?

    When I've upgraded to FireFox 13 my Plugin RealPlayer browser Record has been disabled as dangerous and unstable. Now I can't download videos that I watch with RealPlayer. When I activate the Plugin, I can't watch the video (I get a blank video screen). So, how can I download and save videos I want like those on the pulse of the planet by Rick Levine or other sites with recordable video? I downloaded and installed the latest version of RealPlayer and they say that I will be able to download videos but I can't. This problem is also related to this Plugin disabled?

    Hi all Freaked Out Firefox and RealPlayer users,

          This is the proper workaround for the problem of not being  able to see videos after the Adobe defective 11.3 update (either the 11.3.300.257 or the latest 11.3.300.262) and  not being able to download them with the RealPlayer Browser  Record Plugin extension because Firefox disabled it.You can  enable it but you won't be able to see videos unless you roll  back the defective update and disabling the extension doesn't even work  for some users to even let you see videos, much less download them. I successfully tested   uninstalling adobe's update 11.3  and reinstalling with two  different versions  - 10.3 and 11.2 and posted this on other  threads beginning 6/11. People who have tried it have been  very grateful once they stopped listening to all the  confusing and misleading recommendations by Firefox and  Adobe. It's the ONLY one that gives full use of RealPlayer as  well as updated security on the Flash Player and I've  provided  the most direct link to that version without having  to download a cumbersome .zip file. It's a link to the 10.3  version. You will see other references to the 11.2 version on  this thread. Although I tested that first and it works  equally well, there are known critical vulnerabilities as  reported by Secunia and Adobe,so I don't recommend it unless  you have top security software. I do, and had no trouble with  it. The 10.3, however, is up to date on security and works  equally well -I've tested both. Just remember to enable the  RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension after you roll  back the update.
    
          Alternatively, if you want, you can simply switch browsers  'till this is fixed. And for many of you for whom  FF  disabling the RealPlayer extension does not even work to  allow you to see videos - it didn't for me, and a Level Three  Case Manager I know at RealPlayer said the same thing- obviously it's not the best solution and even if it allows  you to see videos, these geniuses at Firefox have not been  even telling you how to then download videos with RealPlayer  - they've  been too busy following Adobe's "pass the buck and blame  RealPlayer so just disable it" nonsense without telling what  to do next, or that there are other much better choices. RealPlayer is likely not the cause (although there is a conflict in the interaction with the Adobe update.
    
                The Best Choices are:
     First Choice:
    
             Roll Back the Update to the 10.3 version -
    
    See  links below for both Adobe's uninstaller - to first uninstall the 11.3- and for the 10.3  version. Choose the 10.3 that says "for other browsers"- this  is for Firefox. The other one is for IE Active X. IE and has to be reinstalled also because the uninstaller removes both version.
    

    Adobe clean uninstall instructions, step 4, which says to remove the additional files and folders is not usually necessary and you can be denied access to delete all files. RealPlayer also said it is not necessary. I know how to create special permissions but don't mind not because most of the users don't know how to do this - I didn't, even though I am almost certain that one of these Firefox gurus will tell you that I'm wrong. It's good to make the move, only, it can be difficult for many and it does not seem necessary for me or someone else, from what I've heard.

            Note: When you reinstall the 10.3 change the update  setting from automatic to "Never check for updates" to avoid any more problems until this is finally  fixed. Adobe already updated to the 11.3.300.262 for Firefox (which was designed to ONLY fix the crash problems and not the video viewing problems) and didn't even fix that -I don't trust anything Adobe says right now until this is  permanently fixed. And in the future I strongly urge you to  do the same, keeping it on "Notify me if there are updates" in a future version where that choice is available. If you forget, you can change the setting from  the control panel. Click on Large Icons, then Flash Player and on then the   Advanced tab and dot the lower radio button for "Never check....." in the 10.3  If you don't  get notified of a new version you can always check this forum  which you need to do anyway because any new version at this  point is going to be a beta version fix until we test it  thoroughly and I don't care who disagrees with me on that, or  what Firefox says either.
    

    Second choice:

        Change Browsers -
    

    The Adobe problem involves only Firefox. You can watch videos and download them with the RealPlayer download button if you don't want to do the restore. You can even leave the extension off RealPlayer (if that allows to see the videos) and use another browser to download (just copy and paste the URL of the video on the address bar) and the RealPlayer download button will work.

    Important Note: Remember, you have to reinstall both versions, the one for Firefox and for Internet Explorer  because the uninstaller removes both.
    
          This has worked perfectly for many others I've heard back  from - hope it works for you.

  • How can I play videos with only a MediaPlayer?

    I want to play two videos with only a MediaPlayer:
    private static MediaPlayerBuilder mpB;
    private static Media mLogo;
    private static Media mSaludo;
    private static MediaPlayer mpLogo;
    private static MediaView mvLogo;
    private static Group gLogo;
    
    public void start(final Stage stage) {
    ...
    mLogo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOLOGO_PATH)).build();
    mSaludo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOSALUDO_PATH)).build();
    mpB = MediaPlayerBuilder.create(); 
    mpLogo = mpB.media(mLogo).build();
    mvLogo = MediaViewBuilder.create().mediaPlayer(mpLogo).build();
    gLogo.getChildren().add(mvLogo);
    ...
    sActual = new Scene(gPozos, WIDTH, HEIGHT, Color.BLACK);
    stage.setScene(sActual);
    stage.show();
    When I want to play mLogo:
    sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
    mpLogo.play();
    Then, when I want to play mSaludo I do the following:
    mpLogo = mpB.media(mSaludo).build();
    sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
    mpLogo.play();
    or this:
    mpB.media(mSaludo).applyTo(mpLogo); 
    sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
    mpLogo.play();
    or this:
    mpB.media(mSaludo);
    sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
    mpLogo.play();
    But it is impossible to change the media. It does not work. Sometimes I play video mLogo and sometimes (according to the code) the video mLogo does not start and I see a picture of the first keyframe and nothing else. I have no exception, no error, nothing.
    I want to play mLogo, then mSaludo. How can I do this?

    Thank you

    I want to play two videos with only a MediaPlayer

    You can not.

    MediaPlayer documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2.0/api/javafx/scene/media/MediaPlayer.html#MediaPlayer (javafx.scene.media.Media)
    "Create a player for a specific medium. This is the only way to associate a multimedia object with a MediaPlayer: once the player is created, it is not editable. The errors that occur synchronously within the constructor will cause exceptions to be thrown. The errors that occur asynchronously will cause the error to be together and therefore any recall onError property to call. "

    I have no exception, no error, nothing.

    Certain exceptions MediaPlayer, they occur asynchronously and you must explicitly add a listener for them, or you will never know that they occur.
    Your code has additional problems, for example, you cannot change an object built from a manufacturer after the object has already been built.
    --------
    What you want to read a video with a single MediaView, and have the second video starts automatically after the first video is over. Note that it is the MediaView that is shared, not the MediaPlayers.
    Here is an example for this.

    public class TwoVideos extends Application {
      public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { launch(args); }
      public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
        final StackPane layout = new StackPane();
    
        // create some media players.
        final MediaPlayer logoSrc   = // first video is just 16sec (thank goodness...)
          createPlayer("http://www.hackerdude.com/channels-test/20051210-w50s.flv");
        final MediaPlayer soludoSrc =
          createPlayer("http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/oow2010-2.flv");
    
        // create a view to show the mediaplayers.
        final MediaView mediaView = new MediaView(logoSrc);
    
        // play the logo video, followed by the soludo video, followed by a finished message.
        logoSrc.play();
        logoSrc.setOnEndOfMedia(new Runnable() {
          @Override public void run() {
            mediaView.setMediaPlayer(soludoSrc);
            soludoSrc.play();
          }
        });
        soludoSrc.setOnEndOfMedia(new Runnable() {
          @Override public void run() {
            layout.getChildren().remove(mediaView);
            layout.getChildren().add(new Label("All Done!"));
          }
        });
    
        // layout the scene.
        layout.setStyle("-fx-background-color: cornsilk; -fx-font-size: 20; -fx-padding: 10;");
        layout.getChildren().addAll(mediaView);
        Scene scene = new Scene(layout, 600, 400);
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
      }
    
      /** @return a MediaPlayer for the given source which will report any errors it encounters */
      private MediaPlayer createPlayer(String aMediaSrc) {
        final MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(new Media(aMediaSrc));
        player.setOnError(new Runnable() {
          @Override public void run() {
            System.out.println("Media error occurred: " + player.getError());
          }
        });
        return player;
      }
    }
    

    On my machine (win7, javafx 2.0, jdk7), this example will not work correctly about 50% of the time, the rest of the time I get an error from the corruption of the media reported, I guess due to errors in the media stack, because it works sometimes. I'll try it again with the next 2.0.2 version JavaFX and report a Jira if it still does not work. You can try the code above with your videos, and if he does not report errors to the command line, then likely will work best for you.
