It's unlikely that you'll find classes intrinsic to the .NET framework that will let you do advanced video recoding/editing. Most video devices implement their own drivers, but they also usually expose some standard Windows COM interfaces. You should be able to use COM interop to access and use device specific API from your .NET application.

You need to figure out what devices you want to support. For example, if you merely want to access and use the webcam, see this article for an example:

For more advanced video operations, you may need to purchase a 3rd party library since I don't know of any open source library that will do all that for you.
