One thing that I think could be useful for both the OpenPVR project as well as for V4L in general is a V4L loopback device. The ability to (re-)capture through the V4L API the contents of a fie which is an already captured stream would be useful for a) people to play with V4L that don't have actual hardware (yet) and b) for doing comparisons of codecs and encoding parameters. I find it very difficult to evaluate the results of differing capture programs/parameters when the source data is different. I wonder how well your work could be put towards that sort of goal. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
