Embedding VLC on Windows

How to access the webcam on wind开发者_如何学运维ows (XP)?

On Linux, I'd use the MRL "v4l2://", as in:

libvlc_media_new(libvlc_new(),"v4l2://",&libvlc_exception_t)

And let it detect it automagically. I know, this could fail sometimes.

Video for Linux's equivalent would be DirectShow which has the MRL of dshow:// however I have not got this working myself.
