Using a video file as a 'webcam'

Question

Is there anyway to make video0 point to a video file instead of an actual webcam? We're trying to hook something up using Skype that points to a prerecorded video file instead of a webcam.

Maybe this WebcamStudio software could help:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/webcamstudio/

"WebcamStudio For GNU/Linux creates a virtual webcam that can mix several video sources together and can be used for live broadcasting"
