Hello,

Something which has been puzzeling me: if data is being copied from
/dev/video0 to, for example, test.mpg in chuncks of 64KB, how is the
continuity of the mpeg-data preserved? I mean, first 64KB of data is being
read, after that the same data is being written. While writing, nothing is
read, so it seems to me that /dev/video0 has to buffer data.

Questions: How big is the /dev/video0-buffer? Is there also a buffer for
/dev/vbi0? How big is that one?

Cheers,
Johan Duinkerken.
