    yes you can use other software.
    That is, if your talking about the M570RU in your signature.
    I am pretty sure the M570RU shares the same webcam as the D900T/D900K. GO to sagers website and download the webcam driver for the Sager NP9750. It should work without a hitch. But if it doesnt work, I guess you are out of luck

    AFAIK all webcams are installed as standard video capture devices visible to any and all programs supporting video capture devices; ranging from instant messengers to DVR programs. try VirtualDub, its a free video editing/recording/conversion tool; has many interesting filters and will let you record directly in to any supported codec (installed on your computer).
