..... it seems to me that there must be some lack of interest in this project. Except for that, I don't see why such a program would be too hard to write. All the pieces are there, already: v4l2 supplies the video stream, codecs are thriving over the internet, the author would only have to redirect the stream to both X and a file, after encoding. Am I very wrong about that?
I don't know how video streaming works, but what you said seems true to me... lack of interest. I wish I could just 'cat' from /dev/video0 and use 'tee'. Thanks for the script. Last I tried, mencoder (without tvtime/xawtv running) was able to capture only video, no audio. But perhaps I was using the wrong options. I will try your mencoder line tonight.
