For quite some time, I've been spending time and money attempting to discover a way to record HD video with a webcam on the Mac. While it seems like a simple enough request, Logitech has repeatedly took the stance that it can't be done. Well, they were either incompetent or dishonest. I've long been a fan of Logitech webcams for their overall build and image quality. Their software, on the other hand, has been a dismal departure from anything that could be even remotely considered quality.
Thankfully, CamTwist has come to the rescue with a free solution that allows you to view your webcam in a preview window and set it at a desired size. Once the window is up, all you need to do is use screen capture software (Camtasia, Screenflow, etc.) to grab the video. If you've ever operated under the false assumption (portrayed by certain manufacturers) that you can't capture HD video from a webcam, this is the workaround to make it happen for you.
