It isn't as easy as you'd like it to be. GStreamer is on the good way, there's quite some sample applications which work partly or fully, and there's another load of applications currently being developped, some of which do exactly what you're looking for (virtualdub-alike). But have patience, we aren't there just yet. For now, mjpegtools is pretty much the only (set of) tool(s) which can do what you're asking for. > > It seems that mplayer can sometimes fix them.

Which is why we only support non-broken AVIs :-).
