I am looking for a library to record images from a webcam and sound from the microphone and generate a video file (avi, mpeg or any other format).

I would prefer a cross-paltform solution (Windows, MAC and Linux) and something in C/C++ or Python.

Any recommendation and/or sample code?

Update: Folowing @Rory reccommendtation, i found this example of webcam viewser with Python and gstreamer. Unfortunately it requires v4l2src plugin which is not provided (correct me if I am wrong) with the Winodws build. Which plugin should be used on Windows?

gstreamer is an open source multimedia framework with C & Python bindings.
