possible to use NSV to stream a webcam I'm viewing?

E-vangelist · 29th January 2004, 00:52

Hi all - I've used NSV before to stream my OWN webcam directly.. no problem.
my question is this:

Is it possible to use NSV to stream someone ELSE'S webcam that I am viewing? specifically, let's say I'm on Yahoo messenger (Trillian actually) watching someone else's webcam. Is there any way to grab THAT video window and use NSV to stream it to other people?

camtasia can do screen cap.

Yahoo Messenger (Trillian) itself has a capture button for capturing stills, I want to take the live webcam feed that I'm viewing from a remote person and pipe it back out again to other people using NSV... if it's possible...

if NSV can't do this, does anybody know of a utility that will?

probably not the best way to capture stills and then re-animate them, but it can be done.

We do alot of this stuff for live "vj" apps.

I recommend actually capturing the webcam stream first using camtasia first, its by far the best for this kindda thing that i have found.

If you really have to use stills (captured frames) you will need an application to animate them in real time. It will probably be a waste of processor time, but check vjforums.com, there are plenty of links for software that would let you do this, for example visual jockey 3.5.

Good luck
