      ' create video capturer activex object
Set capturer = CreateObject("BytescoutScreenCapturing.Capturer")

' set output video file name to .WMV or .AVI file
capturer.OutputFileName = "CaptureWebCamOnlyFullScreen.wmv" 

' set capturing type to the catWebcamFullScreen =5 to capture the entire screen

' set to use hardware web cam
capturer.CurrentWebCamName = "USB"

' uncomment to enable recording of semitransparent or layered windows (Warning: may cause mouse cursor flickering)
' capturer.CaptureTransparentControls = true

MsgBox "This script will record 640x480 video from web camera with 'USB' name for 15 seconds. Output video will go to EntireScreenCaptured.avi"

' run video capturing

' wait for 15 seconds (15000 msec)
WScript.Sleep(15000)
