    Hi for yahoo messenger webcams,

    http://www.andy.w2s.co.uk/yahoo/CamGrab2/camgrab2....

    (includes a free version) or for a bit more fun:

    http://www.stickercam.com/ lets you add animated stickers to your webcam you broadcast and view as well as recording both :)

    WackyB StickerCam lets you record, playback, relay (re-transmit a webcam you are viewing as your own) It does not require webcams you are recording to be visible windows on top of all other windows. Has built-in editor for deleting/clipping/saving video you record. If you switch to broadcast tab you can also playback any recorded webcams as your own cam, drag'n'drop a video file to playback as your web cam, high quality zoom and pan + special visual effects and filters, Drop image files to create a slideshow over your cam (you can vary the speed). Have a webcam? you can use StickerCam to use the same webcam in multiple applications... eg. with Yahoo Messenger and MSN messenger at the same time. Select the source as capture and your webcam becomes your desktop/active window/ or any area of your desktop you select (and of course with everything you get digital zoom and pan, add text/graphics) Live thumbnail preview window lets you watch all the webcams you are viewing without taking up too much screen space (size adjustable thumbnails can be positioned anywhere on your screen) + more!

    StickerCam is more than just a webcam capture program but is custom made for Yahoo Messenger webcams which means it captures only new video frames unlike some screen recorders where they will capture new frames even if messenger has not yet updated wasting diskspace

    Hope this helps :)

    There are a few diffrent recorders out there...

    The best one is at http://www.oatmealmedia.net/ they have programs to view without permission, record to svi video, play video over your own cam (even if you don't have one) etc.etc. good stuff. it's like $30, but it works like a membership and you can get all of their programs for that.

    Another one is http://www.fakewebcam.com/ theres records webcams and plays back over your own webcam. It cost like $20 per program there though.

    The last one I know of is http://www.stickercam.com/ theirs records and playsback but it mainly for adding effects to your cam like falling snowflakes and stuff. It's not as fast as the other 2, and the quality isn't as good. I think it's like $30

    Incase you are wondering about the people who say this stuff is illegal. It's not. You can view webcams without asking permission. This is not illegal because the user still has to log into a public forum (yahoo) and therefore their expectation of privacy is gone. They also have to turn there webcam on. It is not illegal to record webcam either, you can record anything that you see on your screen. After all it's your computer. The only thing that would be illegal is if you were to publish the recording without the users permission, then they MIGHT have a copyright lawsuit. . . . Doubt that would get very far, but still.

    There are alot of webcam recorders out there on the web. And by the way, it ISN'T against the law. Some people should know what they are talking about before they answer questions on here.

    Good Luck!
