I've checked vcr code - and it would be most probably nigthmare
to fix this for gcc-3.2 compliance.

Would be probably much easire to check avirec - and
report problem you will find with this program
(as I've considered that doing TV grabs is somewhat senseless compared
with DVD rips)

This is cause by the thing that latest avifile libraries are
compiled with gcc-3.2

Needs latest Qt3c102 (there has been missing dependence - because
Debian failed to detect this because of bug in Qt package)
There should be soon new package libavifile0.7c102

I would have rather suggest to use Xvid or LowMotions -
the Fast-Motion creates to big 'blocks'
I'll try to play with it over the weekend a bit and fix some
most outstanding bugs.
I would have considered vcr rather as a dead project.
Anothing thing worth to try:
- mencoder could also be used for TV grabbing.
They have far more developers - so I would have expected they
should be giving much better results...
