Thanks to your help, I now have video capture ability on my FreeBSD machine! Before I dive into scripting my recordings, I was wondering if you guys had some general suggestions? What I need to do is start recording (cat /dev/cxm0 > myfile.mpg) at a certain time, stop recording at a certain time, include the date stamp in the filename, and preferably pipe the file to something like ffmpeg to compress it to a format that will take less disk space. Any suggestions as to what I ought to check out? ----------- Joe Auty NetMusician: web publishing software for musicians http://www.netmusician.org joe@netmusician.org
