I need to simulate a video/audio capture device and view it under applicatione like skype, i'm going to explain better.
I will receive a stream from the Local Network and i want use that stream like a webcam or a mic under Skype.
I downloaded DDK but it's really advanced programming for me, then i saw that maybe with DirectShow i can reach the target.
I need only to be pointed to the right direction.

EDIT:
Perhaps I have not explained well.
The computer must think that there are a mic and a webcam connected but they will not be real device, they will be virtual device, i will choose the digital source: it could be a file or a stream.

sorry for bad english if you have any further question i'm ready to explain better.

Unfortunately what you are asking to do is not simple.
To get to whetre you want to get to you are going to need to do some "advanced programming" - meaning programming that will stretch you(a good thing!).

Have a look at Andrew Kirillov's article[^] on movement detection to get an idea of how to connect to a webcam.

With regards to sound have a look on CodeProject articles - I imagine someone has written something on how to pick up sound form a mic enabled webcam.

You could also look at this article on video and sound intruder detection.and[^]
