RE: Recording with SAA7134 card

I've had the 'flashing greens' too.

The application I used was vic. I think it uses the V4L1 interface
(definitely doesn't use streaming capture from V4L2). What I did notice
thou was that the streaming capture from V4L2 did dump frames correctly
(wrote a small test app), while a couple of other applications had the
'greens'.

I don't know much about v4l1,  but think it might be quicker (and safer)
to forward port vic to use v4l2.
