I'm not quite sure I understand, but
if you want a video saved in memory instead of to harddrive,
one of the easiest ways is to enable shm support in the kernel,
and then create a directory:

	mkdir /dev/shm/MYVIDEOS

and write/read your video data from there - the
"disk" is all in memory, no initialization issues.
(Not sure where you tell shm how much memory it
can expand to, but it's dynamic, so if you don't
use it, it's not using up your RAM).
