Hi All,

I have a PCI video capture card (with on board MPEG-2 video encoder) 
plugged into an x86 loaded with Ubuntu Studio 11.04.

I believe that with a little cunning, it is possible to configure one 
of the dev/video devices to become a block file video source (so you 
could open it, and copy the data to a file for example, or pipe it 
through a filter etc).

Anyone know of any good tutorials on the subject ?

Many thanks,

Mark
