Found that my bttv driver shared an IRQ with my network card. So I disabled the network (modprobe -r b44), and voila - no real buffer problems with my capture card anymore. It does not seem stable, but it is generally working.

Could it be the motherboard?

If someone could point me to a resource where I can learn how to direct either my ethernet or my bttv to a different IRQ, I would be eternally grateful (modinfo gave ambiguous results).

Thanks for the links I will take a look at them anyway. You're saying that GStreamer has a "easy to use" interface to access V4L devices also?

Thanks,
Stephan
