I did that, and it works: (development version)

PUBLIC SUB Main()

  DIM hProcess AS Process

  'hProcess = EXEC ["ls", "-laR", "/"]
  hProcess = SHELL "ls -laR /" FOR READ

  WAIT 2

  PRINT "*************** KILL"
  hProcess.Kill

  WAIT 5

END

PUBLIC SUB Process_Read()

  DIM sStr AS String

  READ #LAST, sStr, Lof(LAST)
  PRINT sStr;

END

The shell and the 'ls' command run during 2 seconds, and then they are stopped 
by the Kill method.

Tell me if it works with your 'cat /dev/video...'
