Guys, I'm looking for an application that will mimic a webcam, i mean play a video as a webcam, i used to use webcam max on windows, anything like that avaliable, I can't seem to find anything. Cheese wont do it as that just uses you webcam to take pictures and video which is not what i want.
 


thanks for the reply, would webcamstudio for ubuntu work for mint ?
