    Have you checked the acer website for any updates to your pc usually they have the software updates there for using the webcam it could also be preconfigured to be used with messenger programs, skype etc. in any event you should also be able to access the webcam through the control panel. I don't know why you would want to record a video from the built in webcam but good luck.

    I would suggest emailing Acer support.
