[FONT=Arial]Hello[/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]Is it possible to stream an AVI (“any” video) file just like a stream of a[/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]webcam? My camera is dead and I’ll participate on a video chat. I need[/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]to send a video file just like a real webcam-captured image.[/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]If this is not the right place to ask this question then please guide me where to post this?[/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial] [/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]Thanks you and Regards[/FONT]
