It would be great if Kopete could grab the video data from my dv camera. 

Currently I use dvgrab, ffmpeg2theora and oggfwd with an icecast server to "videochat", but that setup has sever drawbacks (including high latency).

More detailed: What I currently use to stream video from the dv camera (I hope this helps you avoid long searches): 

dvgrab --format raw - | ffmpeg2theora -a 0 -v 5 -f dv -x 320 -y 240 -o /dev/stdout - | oggfwd
