Hi,

Just wanted to inform you that since turning off CPU Frequency  
scaling yesterday I haven't seen anymore this error:

ivtv0 warning: ENC: (0) DMA Error 0x0000000b

But the corrupted video persists and while producing high CPU load  
the card crashed again with this errors:

ivtv0 warning: ENC: REG_DMAXFER 2 wait failed
ivtv0 warning: ENC: DMA still Pending while stopping capture!
