I have to take a video input and split it in three parts, sending it to three outputs simultaneously. The first thing I thought of was creating a pipe, sending there the video and trying to read from there. I did my firsts tests with mplayer, but as soon as I launched the second instance of the video output, the mplayer which was feeding the pipe exited. Does any of you have any good idea to accomplish this in a simple and elegant way? Probably I should be focusing more on the capturing more than doing this rubbish tests, nonetheless, since I still don't have any hardware to do anything proper, any feedback will be wellcome ;) -- Javier Krausbeck -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
