  In IRIX 5.2, your only choice is to write your own code using
  the Audio, Video, and Movie Libraries to capture live video
  and audio and save it to disk - not an easy task.

  In IRIX 5.3, your program can use the Capture Tool to do this
  work.  You can invoke the Capture tool, passing it a file name
  and a set of options telling it what media to capture and what
  compression to use.  When the user exits the Capture Tool, you
  simply open the movie file it recorded for you.  Check the
  5.3 manual page for Capture for more details.
