Use ffmpeg (libavcodec and friends, actually). No, really. I've 
successfully used ffmpeg on both windows and linux with no changes to my 
code. There are pre-compiled ffmpeg dlls  that work without problem. 
Same ffmpeg-specific code for both platforms - no #ifdefs needed.

Here's a nice simple example from a project I'm working on. This 
particular subdir (/trunk/src/camera_test) is a test program I put 
together to test using ffmpeg to capture video on windows, but it work 
just fine under linux just by changing the vidcap URI at line 20 in 
CameraTest.cpp to /dev/video0 or whatever.

Just a suggestion. There may be a much much easier way thru the Phonon 
API - but I don't really know. Sorry.

Cheers!
