I used the perl fuse bindings and then within the perl, after I'd
implemented the basic primitives, used system calls to gphoto2 to
provide a RW* virtual filesystem for my camera (which doesn't do usb
mass-storage).  I also presented a fake .xvpics/ thumbnail direct for xv
and (x)zgv users.

*I never really finished upload support as my own cam didn't support it,
but you could rm images, making it vaguely more useful than the real
gphoto2fs project which appears was written in parallel.

Perl/Ruby/Java-sh bindings exist meaning you could probably do
shockingly trivial `ffmpeg -i $handle ...`; style coding in hours.  Or
give it a day or two and it could be done properly in C.

I lack even the hours, however I'll see what I can do.
