Can I save camera input to video files?

No, it's not possible easily. You can save a screenshot, see the Wiki Basic Examples. So you can save a sequence of JPEG images, aka MPEG video (not optimal format, though). E.g. see this SO thread.

Maybe you can go to the DirectX level to make better solution, but I am weak in the DirectX stuff, so cannot make you better advice, just use Google. E.g. see File Writer Filter, or this blog and you find others.

Yes, it is possible if you modify the code (specially the directshow graph) and insert the GMF Filter http://www.gdcl.co.uk/gmfbridge/ so you can save to a file in parallel without skipping frames. I should have a sample somewhere. Let me upload it
