ffmpeg could work, but I would vote for mp1e since it encodes mpeg1 which can be viewed while recording, and because it's lightweight enough to use at low (320x240) resolution on a 400mhz machine, or high resolution (720x576) on a medium end machine (1.0ghz+)
We've also tried it before (Thomas has even written some code which may still be in CVS) and it works with a simple wrapper. On Wed, Jun 18, 2003 at 02:29:10PM -0500, Richard J.
