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.
