> See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1899493 I've seen that post and it was part of my decision to try arch. | mjpegtools doesn't support v4l2 as yet and the original v4l | (without the 2) has been removed from the kernel. This means that | mjpegtools compiles without v4l support meaning no 'lavrec'. I thought that Ubuntu-repositories simply had a very old mjpegtools-versions (as they tend to do) and that newer versions of mjpegtools supported v4l2. lavrec being available in the arch-package for mjpegtools further strengthened this thought. I've also seen posts from 2011 trying to get lavrec to compile against v4l2. If lavrec only accepts v4l-input and there is no working patch to get it to support v4l2, I see several options: * I've read that there is some kind of compatibility layer to allow v4l-style access to v4l2-devices. Would this work with lavrec? * Is v4l completely removed from the kernel or simply disabled? Could I compile a (current) kernel supporting v4l and run lavrec? * Does a current lavrec work with older kernels? I could try using some older distribution (with v4l still available or at least compilable into the kernel) as a second bootable system only for recording video.
