Hi champ,
In u'r mail to "video4linux-list" subjected "Multi-port video card
support" u have specified as follows.

" Video devices are split up like Lamar said..
 /dev/videoN (0-3). I've used port 0 and 1 with full motion (at
352x288 and 640x480) with no problems.Another nice thing about this
 setup, though I have not tested it,  while "motion" is using
/dev/video0 and /dev/video1, I _think_ I can use port 2 and 3 with
other applications without interfering with motion (ie - not
conflicting - device busy.. etc). "

I have similar problem. I am using Xawtv to view TV. It reads from "/dev/video0". Xawtv records video streams in "avi" format. And then we have to convert it into "mpeg". What I want is to record video
streams directly into "mpeg". So I used FFMPEG to record video
streams. It also uses "/dev/video0". When I run FFMPEG in parallel
with XAWTV "device or resource busy" error occurs. XAWTV uses
"/dev/video0" and when I execute FFMPEG, it also tries to read
"/dev/video0" which results in aforesaid error.I tried creating a symbolic link "/dev/video0" and made FFMPEG to use it. It fails to
work out.

 ffmpeg -vd /dev/video0 /root/samp.mpg.

What i want is to visualize "xawtv" and record video streams using "ffmpeg" simultaneously. How to accomplish this ? Is it possible to make the video input available at both /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 ? So that I can make FFMPEG to use "/dev/video1" and let XAWTV use the
default /dev/video0.

I am using bttv based "Pixel View PlayTV Pro" Tv Tuner card (BT878)
and kernel 2.4.18-14.

With Regards,
S.Suriya Mohan.
