Is it possible to use java to write into a webcam stream? I've tried JMF and got it to capture the image but couldn't find a possibility to write into the stream.

  • Write into a webcam stream? I have hard time in imaging where the stream should finally end up. Does the webcam have a builtin monitor or so, so that one can see movies on it? – BalusC May 18 '10 at 19:02
  • It's not that. I would see it as a global change of the webcam image so that applications which use the image get a preprocessed version of it. – Alexander Stolz May 20 '10 at 09:36

I've never heard about the possibility of writing webcam stream in Java.

As I know, there are few technologies which can do this work:

1) Based on Adobe technologies: webcam -> Adobe FME -> Adobe FMS -> Flash / Flex app 2) OpenSource variant: webcam -> Flash app -> Red 5 Server -> Flash (Client) 3) microsoft also has technologies to work with webcam
