How can I record video on my Pc ?

I want to record a video clip.

My machine is Windows 7.

Are there any built-in tools that come with Windows 7 or can I download something ?

Thanks

    Are you wanting to record something that is already on the Internet and save it to your PC ? Or do you have a video camera you want to attack to the PC and use that to record something ?

    It's playing in a browser window.

    It's council video for a CCTV issued parking ticket.

    Don't know the file type.

    If the above isn't suitable, Video Download Capture should do it.
