As promised, the results of copying from /dev/video0 to a mpeg-file: works like a charm! :-)
Thanks everyone for your advice, it's indeed a simple matter of copying blocks of bytes from /dev/video0 to (i.e.) /video/test.mpg. Accidentilly, I started mplayer (which I use all the time to test the mpeg-files I make) to read my "test.mpg", while I was still writing to it... linux rocks! mplayer didnt't budge one single moment but just played test.mpg, on and on and on, until I finally stopped writing to it... :-) Multi-threading works as well now, so it seems (there is some heavy testing to be done) that I can produce mpeg-files and the accompanying subtitle-files without problems now... with just one single command. Life is sweet :-) Next steps: - code clean-up - some extra code documentation - make simple website to release sources. cheers, Johan Duinkerken. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
