@TravisDtfsuCrum I think he means to capture the footage, wait several seconds (30, 60, etc...) and then play it. I'm not sure if that counts as simultaneous or not.  To OP: Could you elaborate a bit on the question? What is the final goal of this? What sort of stream is it (wmv, asf, mms, etc...)?

to me it sounds like he wants to restream something essentially

Yes you right. I want to capture and replay. It's stays in some buffer. Immediately after X seconds you can see it on some projector/display. I don't care about formats(any mp4, wmv asf, raw data in memory or on disk drive). I need cheap/reliable solution. As less programming as possible since I believe VLC and FFMpeg can do it somehow.

What is the source? Is it an online stream? Could you provide a link? Why don't you just use the original stream on the display? All this info would help to find a solution and make the question more helpsful to others as well.

Normal web camera connected to computer is source of stream. I cannot show immediately cos task is show with delay.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-10-11)

I need to capture a video stream from a web cam and then show it non-stop with a delay of 30 seconds or more.

A server side linux software would be the best but a Windows GUI application will be ok as well.
