##
# Simple gstreamer pipeline to record a video captured from a webcam (through v4l) to OGG file while
# showing the video also on the screen.
#
# Sample usage:
#
# Record to webcam.ogg:
#
# ./camrec.sh
#
# Record to output.ogg:
#
# ./camrec.sh output.ogg
#
# To adjust capture width/hight or set the V4L device see variables below.
#
# Pipeline:
#
# Capture video from V4L source, convert to ffmpegcolorspace, split result (with tee and two queues)
# to two separate path. One shows currently captured video on screen (xvimagesink), the other one
# encodes the captured video to OGG-container with theoraenc and writes the result to a file (filesink).
