Webcam from the web as a video input

If you can't connect directly to the video (and I for one don't know how), you can always use jit.desktop to grab it, though you'd need it visible while you're grabbing and it probably wouldn't be as optimal (frame-rate wise) as a direct connection. If you're not that concerned about the frame-rate I'd suggest jit.desktop, as you can always stick the original video off in the corner somewhere (or on a second monitor) and then play with the jit.desktop output in your main patch.
