Answer 1

I would recommend using webcam-capture project (I'm the author). There is a example of how to record video from webcam device - you can find it here. This project can handle embedded camera device as well as those connected to USB or IP cameras. It is working on most operating systems (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, Linux, Mac OS, Raspbian, etc) and you don't have to install any additional software to run it. The choice is yours.

I would not recommend using JMF - is completely outdated and you have to install it on your PC first, so if you consider your application to be portable, you have to have this in your mind too.
