Hi all,

Anyone happen to have done this successfully and have a magic C/L
incantation for me? I'm attempting to use vlc but the arguments seem
even closer to line noise than what I can achieve in perl...

I figure something like this should work:

   vlc v4l2:///dev/video1 --sout <magical incantations>out.avi

On this note, any clues on how to make /dev/video devices 660 by
default? The user is in the video group but it's not enough as the
permissions are

   crw-------+

When I'd like:

   crw-rw---+

or even

   crw-rw-rw+
