I think the following project is highly relevant:
http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/Linux-For-Devices-Articles/Building-an-Ogg-Theora-camera-using-an-FPGA-and-embedded-Linux/
I did not dig in details but it is actually looks like these guys
already can capture video with the resolution even higher then 720p30
and encode it with Theora on the fly. Also, as I understand, their
design and code is opensourced.
