I have been looking on the ffmpeg website and found the FFmpeg perl module.
I think it is a good option.
I presume the FFmpeg module gives me a faster interface than if I call the
ffmpeg with the system command?
Thanks for the fast responses

Why not use a system command to soemthing like ffmpeg
eg: system("ffmpeg -vd /dev/<USB device> <output file>")
