Hi,
I'll try to explain my needs as best as possible.
I have a set up, two PCs and one webcam. I want to be able to use the webcam feed on both PCs at the same time.
An example of what I mean is: I want to be using video chat on PC1 using MSN and video chat on PC2 using Skype but both video streams are from the same camera.
Is this possible with AbelCam and how do I do it?
Any help will be so greatly appreciated!
Thanks

AbelCam makes your webcam available as a web service, not as a windows video device.
So the answer is: no, this won't work

I read that AbelCam can send video over a network and not just as a web service... Is that correct and could this be a way for me to make my idea work?

AbelCam can send video as Windows Media Streams (wmv).
Due to compression this causes a > 5second lag.
I don't think your clients (MSN/Skype) will process WMV

From sse:

I can use SplitCam or WebCamMax to take the video and it makes it usable in MSN/Skype
Do you think this could work? |

How do I set up AbleCam to send wmv to another PC and veiw it on that PC? Even with the 5 second lag will be OK.
Thanks
