I know with the iSight you can take pictures however I am wondering if you can take videos with the iSight? Is there a program you can use?

I believe you can use iMovie to record iSight directly as well.

I dont feel like paying $30 for EvoCam and I cant seem to figure out how to use iMovie to record from the iSight. Is there any free program?

If you have quicktime pro, you can also record from within Quicktime player.

GCam seems to do it, but I've never tried it.

Use iMovie 6.0 and refer to page 41 of the MacBook User's Guide for capturing video with the built in iSight camera. Have fun!
