It's hardcoded in the freevo_config.py file, you can override using a
redefined VCR_CMD in local_config.py. I had a patch to allow changing the
extension and configure the mixer (needs tweaking for your case) that was
posted to the freevo-devel list about 10 days ago (it changes
freevo_config.py directly, you could just copy the changes to
local_config.py instead).

Someone else would have to answer this, I haven't tried it yet.

Usually striping has to do with PCI bus latency issues. However, AFAIK
tvtime performs software deinterlacing so there's another step involved in
the process. Do you see the same problem with xawtv, or mplayer?

One thing to help improve Video card performance is to verify that the
mtrr settings are correct. If you're using vesafb, add mtrr as one of the
options on the boot command line parameter list. In addition, check your
BIOS for PCI latency settings.
