How does that streamer command work for you at all, if you're losing 
frames?  If you lose frames, the audio/video drop out of sync, which makes 
that file somewhat useless, no?  I use this, and I constantly get pages and 
pages of 4-8 frames lost.  I've even tried to increase the buffer size in 
the btt driver.

streamer -r 29.97 -t 9000 -o /mnt/media/foo.avi -j 60 -f mjpeg -F stereo -R 
8000

I just end up with pages and pages of this:
rate: video is 8 frames behind
rate: video is 8 frames behind
rate: video is 7 frames behind
rate: video is 7 frames behind

This is a celeron 600 with 128MB RAM on an Intel D815EEAL board, hooked up 
to a UDMA/100 40GB drive...  Am I running low on cpu speed, memory size, 
drive speed, or something else?  I really want to get this to work.  The 
key for me is getting ~320x240 at 29.97fps... Thanks.
