I have compiled xvidcap-1.1.3-p7 on a LFS-6.1.1, with included ffmpeg.
However, I see it can't compile on a more recent LFS. In fact in BLFS book
there is a patch to compile ffmpeg with gcc4 but it doesn't fit for the
ffmpeg version of xvidcap. Perhaps the simpler solution is build xvidcap on a
LFS version with gcc-3.4.x (or another distro. or use a binary version), then
move xvidcap and gvidcap in your current version of LFS.
That worked for me, just check the library requirements:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ldd /usr/bin/xvidcap
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7f63000)

About other programs, I tried also x11rec
http://0xcc.net/x11rec/
and Istanbul
http://live.gnome.org/Istanbul
but xvidcap seems to
work a little better, at least for me ;-)
