Disclaimer:I'm by no means a multicast expert and I'm currently trying to
learn it as we speak.
I may be talking out the wrong end here and this is a very kludge solution,
but why couldn't you NAT the stream at the first hop from the source?
As long as the application is UDP why would it need to know the destination
address was modified to a multicast address after it has left the source
(camera)?
Everything downstream wouldn't care?

Subject: RE: Multicast app
We have a small webcam that unicasts its data. Multiple people within our
company want to attach it to view the area viewed by the webcam. Bandwidth
is an issue, and it seems like this would be a good place to use multicast,
but the webcam doesn't support multicast. While I know this is not the
proper use of this forum, I was hoping someone may know of a tool that would
take unicast data and re-transmit it as multicast.
Thanks for your patience
Ron

It's really more complicated than that. What specifically are you trying to
accomplish?
