The minimal command to transcode from a capture card to 
a portable MPEG file is thus:
 vlc v4l:// :v4l-norm=1: '--sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=2030,audio-sync,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:std{access=file,mux=mpeg1,url="out_file.mpg"}'

These MPEG files have been verified to work with:

* Windows Media Player 10
* Apple QuickTime Player 7
* XINE 1.0
* ffplay
* xanim 2.80 (no audio)
