I finally figured out that ffmpeg does work as needed: % ffmpeg -s 352x240 -an -vd /dev/video0 -vcodec msmpeg4 -y gc-msmpeg4-noaudio.avi -vhook '/usr/local/lib/vhook/imlib2.so -t %c -x 0 -y 0 -c green' I'd seen -vhook but not clued in what it really did. Darn newbies. Thanks all. Geoff -- Geoffrey Espin espin@xxxxxxxxx
