What's the most recommended way to go?

+1  A: 

This is a pretty big topic. Try looking at OpenCV. It is nice for image and video manipulation, and you can stream video from files and webcams.

A: 

Take a look at DirectX "Filter Graphs". You can use a simple tool from the DirectX SDK called 'Graph Edit' to construct a sequence of DirectShow Filters which can do things like capture video streams from a TV card or decode an MPEG/AVI file and then operate on the data stream and ultimately render it to video/audio or a file.

Most of the DirectShow samples are in VC++.

There is no filter in directshow that can deal with streams directly.

Please give more information about the stream and then the community can better help you.

No specific stream, I just need an example to deal with stream in order to get started.
