Hi,

I would like to get the webcam stream of my Macbook (the integrated iSight webcam).

I use Java, and I don't know anything about Objective-C so I'm looking for a "full-java" solution. I found some class example, but they were made in 2005 and they don't work on my system.

Thank you

Tried JMF? You can make a start here

It seems to be for Windows or Solaris for the webcam. No mention of OS X or Mac

Have a look at QuickTime for Java or Java Bindings for VideoLAN.

I read "The new version also neglected to provide a component to show a visual preview of the input from a capture device, such as a webcam or camcorder" for Quicktime. It seems that Java is not really a concern for Apple... See also here : http://onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/10/29/qtj-returns.html?page=last (in "Other changes"). As for VideoLAN, it seems it is not able to capture from a webcam.

Yes, I didn't know QTJava had been deprecated, sorry: http://lists.apple.com/archives/quicktime-java/2008/Jun/msg00018.html
