I have a Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX webcam.

That one has the following text:
"How can I record video from my webcam?
One way is to use FFmpeg with the following command line:
ffmpeg -vd /dev/video0 -an -vcodec mpeg4 -s 640x480 output.avi
This records video (no audio) from the /dev/video0 device at a
resolution of 640x480 and writes it to output.avi."
However, what I want to be able to do, is to record a videoclip with
sound, so that I can send a videoclip of my silly looking face moving,
as I talk, to relatives and friends, so that they can see what a video
call would look like.
I basically want to be able to make video clips that would be like video
calls, but that are not interactive, like video calls, so that I could
send the videoclips by email.
Thank you in anticipation.
