    Hi,

    Just bought a webcam (pc14-8 led 1.3 megapixel web cam. All I want to do is record some video for youtube but I know little about video capture hardware/software.

    According to the manual I have the correct system requirements and installed as per instructions using the AMCAP driver supplied on disk with the web cam But the following error message appears...

    Sorry, you have no video capture hardware......can anyone diagnose the problem ??

    I know this sounds silly, but after installing the drivers, did you reboot the computer?

    Also, what OS, and what software are you using?
    If Windows try using Windows Movie Maker(in case you are not using it already): Open WMM, and click File > Import from Video Camera, and see if you get the same error.
