Got new Webcam, what software to use?

Post by Kaos Kid »

I got my daughter the logitech C310 HD720 webcam, but of course the logitech software only supports capturing to .wmv :vom:

I would like to set it up to capture using various codecs (currently use K-lite mega pack), but mostly quality .mp4 codecs (like Xvid in the .avi container) using 1280x720 @30fps. What webcam capture software do you use, and what codec pack does it work best with? Thanks!
I have come to the conclusion that "FaceBook" should be renamed "FacePalm" :roll:

Sorry I only know of one piece of software, and I haven't used it.

According to the site the software can record HD MP4 video.
HD Support
Record HD video in H.264 format* NEW
Apply HD fun effects* NEW
HD Desktop recording* NEW
HD Video & Snapshot recording* NEW
*EDIT*
A quick Google search came back with this.

I'd also check out to see if Logitech has newer/better software up on their website.
