Overall, this is a very simple video capturing tool and doesn't feature very many advanced functions. Newer features include DV camcorder and TV tuner support, better compression, zooming and full-screen support. Some additional features include applying special effects (like alpha-blending, transparency, overlays) and can take still screenshot images on the fly. Support both AVI and MPEG video saving, AMCap makes recording webcam videos so easy.
