 |No, that's multiple input.  I think he meant sending output (video

Ah, thanks.  Missed that.  The multimedia equivalent of "tee".

That could be tricky.  When an X11 window, you're slinging video to X and
presumably audio to the soundcard.  To a file, you're probably slinging
audio and video (merged or split), or maybe just video, and probably in
different formats than are going down the other pipes.
