Okay, following up from the audio test I did with my Logitech C920 HD Webcam 
yesterday.

As stated in the audio test, I was wondering how one could record video from a 
Webcam on a Mac, turns out the answer was so simple I didn't even think of it 
and once again, thanks to Google my friend for making me that little wiser.

Quicktime Player is built in to OSX though this Application is certainly 
understate, the title should read Quicktime Player/Recorder as there is a video 
record option found in the "Play" menu.

All you have to do is select "Record" from either the menu or a shortcut key 
and the recording screen opens, from here you select where you wish to record 
from - Webcam or other device - and both audio and video sources can be set 
independently.

Once that's done click on the "Record" button and recording starts, press the 
"Stop" button when you've finished.

From that point you can manipulate your recording, save it to a file, share it 
on Youtube, eMail it and so on.

There is a version of Quicktime for Windows which - as I understand it - gets 
installed by default with iTunes though I think it can be installed separately 
if you don't wish to use iTunes.

I would imagine the options set in the Windows version is much the same as that 
for the Mac version, I've not tried the Windows version yet so I've no idea of 
how accessible or otherwise it is.

When I've managed to record a decent enough video to scare everyone out of 
their wits <smile>, I'll upload to dropbox.
