For LongoMatch[1] I use a solution based on GStreamer that actually
works both on Linux and Windows (I haven't tried it yet on Mac OSX).
The C# GStreamer bindings are still under development, so the backend
is written in C[2] and wrapped to C#. LongoMatch's multimedia backend
offers multimedia playback, video capture and simple non linear
edition through 3 interfaces [3]:
 * IPlayer
 * ICapturer
 * IEditor

The camera capturer has been successfully tested on Linux and Windows
with webcams and DV cameras. It supports capturing from devices
outputting raw images and DV streams, and can use with several video
codecs and multiplexers to transcode the video stream, the same ones
supported by GStreamer.

Cheers,
Andoni
