It would er, probably be better to cat /dev/video > file.mpeg and see if
it:
a) sits there for at least 10 seconds without coming back with an error
b) leaves a file which is playable by something like mplayer or xine

cat'ing to the screen could lead to a whole lot of beeps and a messed up
terminal (until a reset) :-)
