Yesterday we went playing Curling. This is my first time (and probably to most of the team members also) playing this. I knew about this game when I was in the university reading Kariage Kun comic book. Then I saw the game for "real" on TV here in Finland.

N800 doesn't come with a video recorder program. So I tried to figure out how to record video with it. As the multimedia architecture has the gstreamer as it's building blocks, so I thought it's quite easy to accomplish this, although I only have a few knowledge about gstreamer. The things you need are gstreamer0.10-tools package (you can compile it yourself) and the osso-xterm terminal. So you're supposed to type the command line described below in the terminal. This is the basic diagram of doing the recording. We need to split the video stream from camera, one for displaying on the screen and one to be fed to the muxer and saved to file. Another stream is coming from the microphone and also fed to the muxer.
