Hello.

Quote:
What is the best approach to capture SDL video output in linux? Implement
a new video output backend maybe? Or extending already existing output
drivers to allow capturing to hard disk (as an yuv stream for example)

Have you seen the dummy video driver? You might be able to quickly adapt
it to writing a sequence of frames to disk...
