Hello !! How can I use a webcam to record video in Vizard?

I want to use webcam to record my face's activities including my voice, but I can't find a function to do this work. Do you have any suggestion, or do I have to write a program by myself ?

Thank you

You can use Vizard's VideoCamera plug-in to get the webcam video as a texture and then apply that to a texture quad fixed to the screen.

Using 3rd party software like Fraps (http://www.fraps.com/)you can do a screen recording. If you have Windows 7 or Vista it supports recording both speakers and microphone as well.

I know VideoCamera plug-in, but I want to use Vizard library doing video recording including voice. I tried hard to find a vizard library doing video recording called viz.window.startRecording. However, this function can not record voice with microphone.
Does Vizard offer function that can record video and voice.

if vizard doesn't offer, how can I write a program or what library should I import?

Vizard does not have a function to record video and sound to one file. You can use the vizmic (http://www.worldviz.com/vizhelp/vizRecorder.htm)library to record sound in Vizard.
