Webcam Video Capture App?
I basically want to capture, record and save from an iBot Firewire webcam to files.
What are some good free/shareware Webcam Video Capture Apps for the Mac? Or is there a way to do it with existing Apple apps that I don't know about.
Thanks
Based on the findings of the report, my conclusion was that this idea was not a practical deterrent for reasons which at this moment must be all too obvious.

Computers never do what you want them to do; only what you tell them to do.

Thanks for all your responses
I'm trying out the BTW Pro app now
I want decent quality but don't want massive file sizes. This is for general usage not for professional video production.
I have it currently set: MPEG-4 Video, Quality - 75 (high), 15 FPS, Key Frame @ 30 frames. Does that sound like good settings to use?
They have 10 - 15 video settings (MPEG-4, JPEG, DV, Apple Intermediate Codec, Component Video, etc). Which are the better video settings to use?
