I am NOT talking about video editing software... just video recording software, to record oneself through your webcam...

Any ideas? I know Cheese has this capability but it is very limited or so it seems.

looks good, except installing looks a bit more difficult since not in repos.

no video recording programs in the repos? oh no!

VLC can do it.

I think the VLC media player has a 'Video Capture' option under the 'Media Menu'
Err..will that be helpful?
