If you want to save and distribute it, you can use the 'tee' command.

cat /dev/video(0)|tee file.mpg | whatever_you_want_to_do

It's really hard to operate on MPEG-2 files. I have around 150Gig 
Files and no software is able to do anything on that. Because all 
linux programs include the sucking libmpeg3.

Maybe someone who wants to change mpeg2divx to work with aaroon's lib?
