what is wrong with something like :-
char buffer[65536];
int fd = open("/dev/video0", O_RDONLY);
int fd1 = open("mympegfile.mpg",O_WRONLY);
while (I_STILL_WANT_TO_READ)
{
read(fd,buffer,65536);
write(fd1,buffer,65536);
};
There are ioctl's you can use to control things but
for capturing something like the above should be ok.
ivtv is a device driver and hence it's api is via
ioctl's. There is no client side library to provide a
real api to it.
