If you have gstreamer installed you can try these commands in xterminal.
something that would be a real killer app for the N900 would be a MJPEG encoder for camcording purposes.
Recorded video will have huge file sizes, but it will provide a much more detailed picture and may also bring 720p capture possibilities (if the N900 flash rom can handle such speeds at saving data). Digital Cameras with weak CPU's usually perform very well recording video in HQ, when they are bundled with a good MJPEG encoder.
such a project bringing 720p capture to the N900 is so encouraging that i will try to improve mi knowledge of c++ programming and attempt it.
If you have gstreamer installed you can try these commands in xterminal.
