First of all, thank you for supporting this video capture card. I
plugged it into my linux box and I got a picture right away without
having to do a lot of configuration. That was nice.

I do have a problem with some flickering when I am capturing video from
a VCR. When I run xawtv the picture occasionally flickers. Looking at a
captured file, I can see that the brightness varies from one frame to
the next. This may go on for a second or two, then it will be clean for
quite a while, then randomly comes back. I also have a DC10+ in a
Windows box, and that card shows the same occasional flickering. It does
the same with output from my television and a different VCR as well. On
Windows I am using the Pinnacle driver. There is a configuration window
for this driver which has a checkbox for AGC on it. When I disable the
AGC, the flickering goes away, so this looks like a mild Macrovision
type issue. I can't find a way to turn off the AGC in your driver
though. Have I missed something? I would like to be able to get as clean
a picture on linux as I do with Windows/Pinnacle. I have found several
posts on the net that indicate that the DC10+ should be immune to this
type of problem but I have two cards that show the same thing.

Any help would be appreciated.
