These flags control how the driver converts the camera datastream
into sequence of frames. These flags do not affect V4L, and they
are not accessible by V4L calls.
I don't recall how this camera uses these flags, but the idea is
simple: each new frame can "inherit" the data of previous frame.
So if part of new frame (tail) is lost (ISOC transfers are theoretically
"unreliable") then the rest of the frame will be pulled out of the
previous frame. Similarly, one can clean the frame (fill it with
black color) before pouring data in, or the old data can be permitted
to stay. This affects performance somewhat and may cause flicker. It
makes sense only for debugging and development; otherwise one should
stay with defaults.
All flags are explained in Documentation/usb/ibmcam.txt

vidcat is probably as simple as it gets.
