Convert WebCam stream to MJPEG

The software is being developed in Java using JMF to use a webcam. The main idea is to get the stream from the webcam and transmit it as if it was? transmitted? by a security ip camera, so it can be seen on any security program.

Currently, the webcam stream is received, some text is written on the stream and it is transmitted over the network in JPEG (or RGB not sure) using RTP Protocol. As far as I understand what it is needed is to convert the stream, on the fly, from its current format to mjpeg, the format used by most ip cameras. However, it might not be the right solution and I would like to listen any other possible solution.?

The solution could be using java and converting before sending, or capturing the rtp stream in the machine itself and convert it before sending it againg, using any program written in any language.?

The software must run in linux, debian distribution.?

## Deliverables

The software or module must run efficiently and fast. The final user should not notice any delay in the video seen once started.

Code for what has been done so far, capturing the webcam stream and writing text on top of it, can be given so the developer can start on top of it.
