Cant help yah with Linux, but get one of the following boards, get the Nucleus RTOS, start soldering the BNCs on, program the RTOS Nucleus DVR Video software, and whallop you got something 100 times better than linux and in a stand alone unit

SDL is the most like direct draw library that is available for linux. I haven't been on this forum very long, but it would be my guess that you would probably get more help on C/C++ newsgroup or forum.
