I am having the problems in the recorded video as well, though I am not
sure about watching something streamed from /dev/video0 by itself in
mplayer.
I was watching TechTV just a bit ago, and the microsoft insider
commercial came on. At one point, the screen went mostly white, and
the same thing occurred. I have disabled commercial detection, and
this doesnt seem to help.
