I do that with a webcam using ffmpeg. The format for video-only is this:
ffmpeg -f video4linux -s vga -re /dev/video2 demo.mpg
To add audio, you need to use "-f audio_device -i {device}" and specify
your device. I haven't wanted audio for what I'm doing, so I can't even
guess what the audio device on your system is called.
Thanks Bill and I did a yum install for ffmpeg and it is loaded on my
F7 now. It has a man page. Better read that a few times...
