I have borrowed a Logitech Quickcam messenger (046d:08f0) from my brother.
Got the driver working (in essence it creates the /dev/video0) but it keeps
crashing my players.
Mplayer and ffmpeg crashes, Xawtv manages to get moving images for about a
second and crashes afterwards.

So got to figure that one out tonight, got good hopes it will work at the
end of the evening.

Thanks
Herman

I don't think you will notice much of a speed difference, the main
slow down is the startup of the Perl script, and either way will
take that time. Once they get going, either mencoder/ffmpeg or the
FFmpeg module will be using c to do the recording.

I had trouble building FFMPEG-6036, but mplayer/mencoder
installs easily.

If you get it going, it would be nice to share your script at
a place like http://perlmonks.org, in the Snippets section,
or Cool Uses for Perl.
