As of today 1-28-09 I have just downloaded and will install a new Webcam Softare to me called WebcamMax 5.1.0.6 to be exact. <br>
Now that I finally have a webcamera I would try the included software. For starters the included software could featur such things as: TIME RECORDING - An AUDIO METER as to help keep your voice constant, a PAUSE button to pause a recording, and maybe a time limite to help prevent those over runs for sites that limit you to a length of time. Also a FILE size limit would rock as well. 
Those should be the bare bones basics for 100% all webcam software porgrams PERIOD.
Now what would be nice to see insteas of say a bunch of overlays, some cute lens styled effects... MAYBE something like Text over video, the ability to add your own logo and place these things where you like.
Those TWO things really need to be the next features seen in say 99.99% of all webcam programs. PERIOD.
A really wonderfull feature that maybe do not matter to all people, but for those on a super tight or in my case I have no budget to afford a proper blue and or green screen. Although I can make one home made, but that still means buying them material to make it. So that is out of the question... 
CHROMA KEY or better still the ability to force the issue. Say you do the take snapshot of the backgorund without you in it... And, then the program lets you control the threshold, or you select ALL things not showing the background, and then now can include those colors to be covered as well. As if using a select loop in an art or paint program. That was when I pop back into the image it will not seem to be alive behind me. UNLESS I want it a motion or dynamic background.
Those are not all of the tools I seek in one program naturally. I seek those and some more.
I will see if WebcamMax lives up to all the HYPE the products website claims... Or will it fall as flat as the MICROSOFT CRAPWARE that came with my webcam?
I am looking at ManyCam right now also... It is a little better than the webcam included software.
I am looking at SUPERwebcam as well it is pretty decent. But lacks the chroma tools.
I am also looking at Debute webcam software as well. Decent, and again lacking the chroma tools.
All of these are way better than the MS software I got with my first webcam. A LifeCam which is rather good as it can handle low light, and sound, and also 30 frames a second very well.
The review of Webcam Max will focus on these areas:
How well the CHROMA tool compares to that on the FREE ManyCam.
How fast and easy does this load on my PC and get me up and running.
Debute and SuperWebCam move really fast on my P4 2.8Gh cpu w/512ram. 
MS software loads the slowest by far. And, offers the fewest features that I can see using.
Will WebcamMax be the tool of choice for my LIVE BlogTV debute? 
Will it be my tool for normal video creation use?
Does meet my needs for a virtual video production tool in the basic terms of using a webcam as a sort of TV cam?
Stay TUNED:  More WILL be posted HERE as I use the new software... ADDED TODAY - <br>
Hi WebcamMax Team, well I downloaded the program today - Ran it through a ton of malware tests online, and then my normal few on my PC. PASSED 100% all tests.

Next how easy to install: EXTREMELY EASY! Loved that.

How quick does it fire up? Pretty darn fast let me tell you.

How long before I made my first real video online with it? A few hours of setting up the background as my light shifts to much to use the static room... Then once I was back in the program it took roughly 20 minutes for me to get it all working.

As it compares to ManyCam, SuperWebCam, Debute, and Microsoft LifeCam Softare...

ManyCam is the over all best but rates as fair to good.

Debute - As simple as it is, to me is better to use than manycam. Rates as a good.

SuperWebCam was to be my default webcam program. As I enjoy the few things I need it to do for me...
Rates as Pretty to Very Good.

The only software I rate as a pile of crap ware is Microsoft's LifeCam software. It offers some effects, and that's it. Some basic camera adjustment points and nothing else.

No titles, no adding images, no anything that a user like me will actually make use of. It's crap. And, other than it does offer good low light handling better than others... It would be removed.

WebcamMax - rates as the ONLY software that I SpinergyDude on YouTube will use for 99.9% of my videos.

I did send your team the links to my pre-review to be now review with this very text to be cut and pasted into it...

And, also a separate review right after I made a quick capture video on YouTube review on my website...

I hope this qualifies as being reviewed. :p
But, really I love the product and am enjoying very much, so THANKS for the great program.
