Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I'm trying to write the file with the root user, so
permissions should not be an issue, though I have also tried it with a
regular user (in their home directory) with the same results.
I've also just tried "cat /dev/video0" without the file hoping
to see a bunch of binary code scroll across my screen, but instead,
nothing happens.
Here is my dmesg output (plus ivtvctl -D 9 output when I try the
cat) - http://rafb.net/paste/results/TYZXWW46.html
All appears well, but still nothing when I cat /dev/video0
Thanks again, I'm really stumped here :(
