virtual camera with RTSP video stream as a source

[lizza]

Hello,

I am sorry if I post this message in incorrect forum.

I am looking for a virtual camera which supports streaming video as a source.

I am looking something like Manycam , but it doesn't support streaming (rtsp://....) as a source.

I will appreciate it if someone can help me.

Thank you in advance.

VLC player allows to re-broadcast RTSP streams, but I don't really know how to use it as a virtual web-cam. But you can record your stream and then use the video as your source for a Virtual web-cam software.

You can also play an RTSP stream on your screen and then use virtual web-cam software that allows you to share your desktop.

You can try to use VH Multi Camera Studio for converting RTSP stream into a virtual webcam video supported by many programs. It works fine with Skype.

How to use RTSP webcam in programs not supporting IP web-cams:

1. Download and install VH Multi Camera Studio
2. Launch VH Multi Camera Studio.
3. Click "Add URL" and in the "Select URL to capture from" editbox enter your rtsp:// URL.
4. Hit the "Ok" button. You should be able to see your web-cam video now.
5. Check the "Enable Output to VHMulticam Video Capture Device" and the "Default source (VHMulticam connects to this)" checkboxes.
6. In Manycam or any other program (including Skype) use "VHMultiCam" as a web-cam device.

Note that VH Multi Camera Studio doesn't seem to support h.264 rtsp:// videos from web-cams.
