Convert RTSP stream to virtual webcam

Question

I am trying to use the RTSP stream from an IP camera as a video input source for various applications on Windows (e.g. skype).
The only solution I have found so far is " webcam 7 ", an application that extracts the RTSP stream and creates a virtual driver that logs into the system as a webcam and that any application can then use. Unfortunately, this application often becomes unstable and may accidentally crash. Are there any alternative / better ways to achieve this?

Answer 1

Create your own DirectShow video capture filter (there are many examples - this is a great option) and handle the RTSP stream inside it. This way you can implement stability yourself.

Answer 2

I know this is a little old question. But you can also watch vlc2vcam , it looks promising.
