OT: Application pointer request: "pool-cam"

[Helge Jensen <helge.jensen@xxxxxxx>]

At work we've got a pool-table, and sometimes (I swear -- only sometimes 
:) someone pulls off a really nice shot.

What i'd like to have is a webcam recording to a buffer (disk, memory, 
whatever) and when i hit a key it stores the last X minutes buffered for 
later braggin or ridecule.

I've looked at google and freshmeat, but haven't found a program *just* 
right for this. Surely, someone must have hacked this before?

If no such program exists, where can i find the simplest possible 
example to start coding from?

I have lots of C/C++/python/Java experience, but no experience 
whatsoever on v4l.
