Hope that this is not a silly question. If I do this: cat /dev/video0 >> ~/test.mpeg & ivtvctl --device=/dev/video0 --end-gop=1 Would you expect the output to stop? On another xterm running watch ls -l ~/test.mpeg shows the file still growing. TIA Duncan I'm using a PVR-500 and ivtv-0.8.0 _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
