try out mplayer. You'll probably want to reduce its features to a |
| 13 |
minimum. Maybe you're better off compiling it from source yourself, |
| 14 |
circumventing portage. You'll want support for v4l(2) and jpeg. |

OTOH, there's VLC. This may be a good bet, too. It's specifically |
| 17 |
designed to do this kind of job. |
