yes, if your web cam is a direct show device it will work (see the doc : http://Videolan.org/doc/ )

ok thanks very much.

Now , before start project, I want to know if it's possible to install vlc from source (and compile) on windows ??

thanks.....

that is possible with the cygwin environement if you want to use all of VLC's functionalities. Using MSVC is quite harder i think (never tested it though)
