That is not what I want. I am compressing images, so I need access to that data for an arbitrary amount of time. I would like to capture to the same buffer that I pass in to xvideo with the call of XvShmPutImage. Basically, to set that all up, you have to get a shared memory segment (man shmget) then give it to X (XShmAttach, no man page on my system). I am trying to either get the bttv driver to use the linux shared memory (right now for streaming it uses mmap) system and give me an shmid that I can use and that xvideo can use, or figure out how I can get the shared memory system to just set the memory the capture device gave me from the mmap call as the shared memory it gives me an ID for.
