Hi!
Is it possible to implement video capture for unix?
It could use ffmpeg to encode to mpeg1 or divx5.

The problem with ffmpeg is that the API is not stable yet, and ffmpeg developers recommend projects using the lib to keep a copy in their tree. Of course that solves all dependency problems, but I don't find it very satisfying.
The problem under Linux is that none of the audio/video frameworks is mature yet, they've all come a long way in the last 2 to 3 years, but I think it will take another couple of years until we have something really useable and integrated (beyond the simple players).
That being said, you're more than welcome to give it a try if you have the will, skill and time to work on it.
