What support is there for a USB Webcam in Labview, and on what platforms?

[JamesNelson]

I need to acquire a real-time image from a USB webcam for a remote control program I am building. It has to be USB as it needs to work on many computers without worrying about video data acquiring PCI cards and the like. I would like it to run on Windows 2000 ideally. Any ideas?

Check the following answer by Jim Kring. Also check previous posting from him, as he has been succesful using Video For Windows in LabVIEW.
