Newbie Question

Hey all,

I am trying to make a java program to capture video using a web cam, edit the video and then display the video back on the screen again. Over the past few weeks I have been doing a lot of research and have came up with the following solution.

1. Getting input from the web cam. This isn't a problem

2. Break the movie into frames. I have looked at the frame access code and other code posted around the forums and to me it seems like the best thing to do is to break the image into frames (the way it is done in frame access). Convert these frames into jpegs. Preform the processing on these images and then convert these images back into a movie and display the movie on screen.

First of all I would like to know is this actually possibly and I am going about it the right way.

Should I break the movie into frames the way it is down in the frame access sample code or is there an easier way to do this?

I don't have any clue about how to convert the images back to a movie so any help in this area would be greatly appreciate.

Basically I would just like to know if I am going about this the right way. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone have an answer to this quesion?Just looking to know if there is an easy way to access every frame in a live web cam feed. Frame access seems very complex. Surely there is an easier way to do this?
