I tried --file-flush=0. It gave marginal improvement. Reducing the Resolution to about 160x120 solves the problem completely. I recorded several minutes without Problems (except the inacceptably low resolution) Other Problem: I connected my analog video camera to bt878 and displayed the picture through xawtv (grab, not overlay). Perfect. I recorded this with lavrec and gut a sort of mis-synced image. Looked as if on an interlaced picture one half-picture is rolled 50 lines down while the other half-image is shifted 30 pixels left and 50 down. Looks ugly. Some timing-problem in the routine which reads the video buffers? Since xawtv does it right, I tried it's "streamer"-tool. It records perfectly 384x288+mono16 to MJPG(80%).avi (But that's the limit, CPU is at 99% and moving the mouse causes frame-drops with my K6-III/450) I installed v4l2 then and it reduced the frame-drops. So it seems that lavrec could learn something from xawtv. Thanks for the help.
