nope, I gave up :)
Besides, I'm now using kernel 2.6.12 and I didn't have to compile or patch a thing. . .(just did apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.12-1-386 and it did the rest!)

that's why I always test it first...

Using distros like ubuntu and mepis made me realize the power of debian and it's ease of repositories and shed a little more light on just how usable linux can be. . .

You could do that with Virtual Dub, that would be the easiest. . .The avitovob script also allows you to do more than one video at a time. . .
