Other Uses for WebCam?

---

If you are in North America or elsewhere that doesn't take advantage of the JasJar's 3G capabilities, I am wondering if the built in WebCam can be used for other things like, well, a WebCam But over Wifi or GPRS or whatever, not 3G. I would assume you would need software that can find and use the camera, but I don't know if there's any way to do it. Anyone heard anything about this possibility?

I keep meaning to try MS Portrait to see if it can be used on the Jas Jar with the VGA cam. Has anyone tried it yet?

I guess if you could compile vlc on this plateform, you could stream the webcam through the wifi or even record it.
VLC play lot of differents file it's worth to spend 5h to get the right option for the compilation.

(for those who don't know VLC it's an open-source software and free )

Yes, I tried. No success on behalf of missing camera driver.
Incoming video and sound is ok. Has anyone hacked the camdrv.dll / CameraDriver.dll ?
