I'm one of 3 or 4 people who use vcr on Debian (or at least who admit publicly to using it ... there may be many "closet" users), and we've collectively been patching vcr to keep up with the changes in libavifile ... currently, we're at 1.09-12 in patching.
The current vcr source in Debian-Sid (Debian Unstable) contains patches that fix the inversion problem (intrudoced by a libavifile change about a year ago), update namespace usage to match some changes Zdanek made in libavifile (in January), do the tinkering needed to get it to compile with the current g++, and probably a couple of other things I forget right now. You might want to get that source and see if some of its changes would be useful to backport to your 1.10.
I corresponded with a Gentoo user of vcr a few months ago, and he tracked down a patched version that Gentoo ships. I don't know the location of that, however.
I'm cc'ing the Debian maintainer of vcr so he learns about the new upstream source.

Hey,
I'm the author of VCR. I haven't done a lot of maintaining in the past $LongTimespan, but I figured I could spend a little time getting it to work again with the latest avifile. On my linux box, using avifile-0.7.34 through avifile-0.7.37, it works great. Although, for some reason, the image data is reversed as opposed to the old vcr. I don't know why (v4l driver?), but I added a charming 'vflip' option so users can toggle it :)
Could someone else please test if it works on their system, and report which version of avifile, compiler, linux kernel and capture board they're using. Please note that recording video is currently incredibly spammy due to stray printf()'s in all the wrong places.
As a thank you, I will hand out free 'I tested VCR and all I got was this lousy t-shirt iron-on image' images ;)
Does anyone actually still use vcr, by the way? I noticed (and figured) there'd be tons of other software by now which do the same thing and more..
Oh, and last but not least, the location of the temporary new vcr:
