[Live-devel] MJPEG -> MKV

Note that each MJPEG video 'frame' will be a complete JPEG image.  If you save each incoming frame to disk - as a separate JPEG file - then you can later do whatever you want with these files (using some other library, not ours, because our library doesn't include any decoding/encoding/transcoding).

The way to do this is to use the "FileSink" class, but setting the "oneFilePerFrame" parameter to "True".
