Can blender record from a webcam? Through l4v2?
I don't think blender has video record functionality. You can use
something like cheese cam for recording from your webcam and there are a
couple of other similar apps.
Any recommendation
between cheap camera and webcam?
I would use a combination to get a good sample archive of video footage
for a music video. That way you can mix and match the footage to create
a more dynamic story for the viewer.
Not obviously embarrassingly bad sync
and quality suitable for youtube. :) Prefer not to spend much money.
A camera phone will provide good enough quality for a youtube music
video. You can alse apply some fx to the footage to make things more
interesting. There are options for converting low res video to higher
res but of course you loose some of the quality in the conversion.
Using Blender you can do things like inserting low quality clips into a
larger high res frame with a dynamic background image if you want to get
tricky. You can even have multiple frames layered over your background
image.
LiVes has a good selection of video fx that you can use to create
sequences that you can then import into blender for post prod editing.
I'd lean to the cheap camera and syncing afterwards if this is very
straight forward.
I think this would be a good start. That way you can use a tripod and
also get some more interesting angles going on.

Hey,
Things are going very well with my band and recording stuff both
practice settings and a more studio style sound. I now want to put
some videos on youtube and want some hints! Should i record with a
webcam app that has jack support, or should i buy a cheap digital
camera then try and sync the audio afterwards or what? What video
recording apps work with jack?
You can do both. It depends what kind of sync you are trying to achieve.
Blender works with jack and the latest svn build 2.5.x has internal jack
support. You can get daily builds from http://www.graphicall.org if you
don't want to build the source from scratch. There are several other
jackified AV apps.
I find blender to be the most useful once you get over the initial learning
curve.
Cheers.
