streaming from webcam

Hi all,

I tried to search in the previous topics but I didn't find anything about it, does anybody know if it's possible to stream a video texture directly from a webcam in realtime?
Since, as far as I know, Theora plugin works just with files ogg I'm not sure this would be feasible. In this case which would be the easiest plugin / way to achieve direct real time streaming on texture from webcam?

Thanks !

It should be fairly simple, all you need to do i continouusly grB frames from the camera and upload them to a texture.
The second part is easy. As for grabbing the frames, you can probably use directshow on windows or some open source interface library.

Either way, this plugin is not suitable for this purpose, it was designed to do only one thing and do it well: stream theora files onto a texture. Unix philosophy

Thank you, would you have any suggestions for any other plugin more focused on this task?

no, sorry, I have no idea..
