However I don't think I explained myself clearly enough. I know ho to author a video DVD, and can script that part simply enough. What I really needed to do is capture the video stream from the capture card and start the burn to DVD media immediately. The main problem I'm having is burn times. I would like the burn to be concurrent to the actual capture process, so all that's left after the capture is completed, is to fixate the disk, rather than re-encode, multiplex or any one of a hundred other things that need to be done for a video DVD. Something like cat /dev/cxm0 | growisofs -Z - would be ideal, but I don't know if or how well it would work. Does anyone have any experience with this?
