You could always play with the record-v4l2.pl script that is part of the ivtv
project.  It uses a perl library that links to C to do the ioctl calls for you.
 It doesn't need X and will do most v4l2 library calls, though I haven't gotten
around to adding everything that is possible.

You can get it and the perl modules it needs from
