Hi Kyrre,

I must admit I'm no expert, but a few times when I've wanted to record a late 
program I've started it using cat /dev/video0 > myvideo.mpg

I then used ps -aux to list all jobs and wrote down the job number.

I then used crontab and the kill command to stop that job a bit after the film 
finished, then I could go to bed and leave it going.

Best Regards

Trev
