This means random blocks in the video and "pops" in the audio. I do not seem able to get any errors from the debugging output from ivtv. The problem only occurs after a certain amount of time, so it looks like a memory leak or something like that. The current working combination I have is 0.3.8 with encoder firmware revision 0x02040011. This is very stable and give a good picture and sound quality. What can I do to help debugging this problem? And are there other people with the same problem?
