I am beginning a project in which I will attempt to have a camera module feed into my java program. I am kind of clueless as to where to start with this, even after long hours of research. I have a few questions, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

What type of output should I be looking for in my camera module?
How would I get the video to stream from my camera to my computer?
Would I be using JMF to get my camera as a source and then display the video?

What approach would you take in accomplishing this task (camera/methodology)?

Thanks!
