they act like a microphone to sound, you would need software (usually bundled) to record and view the actual video

what program do you use for the actual viewing? or did your OS automatically pick it up?

Ok so can someone pick out a card for me [preferably PCI Express 2.0 if they make them] that I would be able to record my Wii/360 etc on?
