Can I record video from my webcam using Media Player on Windows XP?

============================================
Windows Media Player does not have a recording feature.

Maybe Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 would be worth a try:

(FWIW...it's always a good idea to create a System
Restore point before installing software or updates)

Also...try using Movie Maker.

Also...the freeware VLC Media Player may be worth a try:
