The built in cam for photoboth and iChat, how can I use it as a webcam or to record like video footage from?

So is that possible? and if so, how?

I think you mean iMovie... iDVD has no recording features.

PS other thread was deleted, please don't post the same question in multiple areas.

Make a new movie, and select iSight as the format. Then under the image section of the window, slide the button over to the camera.

And in case you want to expand on the use of your iSight camera, here's a good entry in a blog, Make The Most Out of Your iSight.
