title: Is it possible to fake a video stream as virtual cam that is visible in Skype, Lync etc?
body: <p>I'm trying to build a crucial part for my application in which I need to be able to fake a virtual cam video stream.  The video stream that I want to fake as a virtual webcam is streamed through my PC, where I can set the video source from my webcam or somewhere from my hdd. To sum up, something I can set as <code>MediaElement.SourceProperty or Image.Source</code> in WPF.</p>
  
  <p>I've seen <a href="http://tmhare.mvps.org/downloads.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Vivek's Vcam, a directshow filter here in tmhare.com</a> which seems like it is extremely related to what I'm looking for. But I couldn't find a way to compile it with VS2010, I also don't really know what to do with it. I think I need to change the input pin but how?</p>
  
  <p>Anyhow, to sum up, I'm trying to build a partial code that needs to work like a small version of ManyCam. I'm building a WPF application where I stream the source from a 64 bit PC. </p>
  
  <p>I would also appreciate some sample code for the filter since I have nearly forgotten everything I ever knew about C++ since DirectShow filter needs to be written in C++...</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for everything!</p>
