webcam

I used to use Microsoft Movie Maker to record video from my webcam.

Now I have Win7 and just downloaded the latest version of movie maker (14.0.8091.0730), the one that has the Office-10-like Ribbon on the top.

But in this version I find no way to capture video as in the older versions.

How can I capture video from my webcam with this newest version of Movie Maker?
