+The mjpeg programs are a set of tools that can do recording of videos and
+playback, simple cut-and-paste editing and the MPEG compression of audio
+and video under Linux.
+
+Recording is supported for the Zoran based cards like the Buz (Iomega),
+DC10 (MIRO, Pinnacle), Matrox Marvel cards and the LML33 (Linux Media Labs).
+See related pages to the right to find the right driver for your card.
+The recorded videos can be converted to MPEG streams. The software playback
+of MPEG streams works with almost every player and every OS.
+You can produce special forms of MPEG streams like VCD (Video CD) and SVCD
+for hardware playback.
