Package: vlc
Version: 0.9.8a-2
Severity: normal


Hello everybody,

I have been trying for 4 days to get some live recording of v4l2 devices
working, but so far everything is against me  :-D 

I have been running the following tests with vlc (see attachments or urls)

I can't seem to get mkv containter working, why is this? and how to solve it?

I would very much just like to dump the v4l2 input to a dv container (libdv),
but I have no idea how to do this, and it appears --disable-dv is used. Why
is this an how to solve this, recompiling is not an option, since this
creates to much maintenance for me. What command should I use to ouptut as
fast and stable as possible to a dv file that can be used later for editing.

So my questions:

1. how to get mkv working
2. how to get a working ogv video output that does not stutter
3. how to dump v4l2 devices to dv container with pal format
4. how to output raw like pcm audio and yuv4mpeg video
5. how to use vlc without a gui for on headless systems

I know this are some difficult questions, but I have tried very hard and
invested way to much time to give up  :-)

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Jelle de Jong
