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.
