Hi! So, Mplayer and mencoder could be used as a software TIVO? Here are the things I would want it to do: 1. Real time recording from v4l. 2. Real time playback from v4l 3. Delayed playback from v4l (delayed as in record and play at the same time with some delay). 4. Fast forward 5 minutes (to skip commercials). Any thoughts? Andy
