That's how it always works.

No clue what's going on there. However, for anyone to be of much help, 
you need to include more details, like what capture card you're using, 
what video output device you're using, whether you have Xv picture 
controls enabled, etc... While you may have put some of that in a 
previous message in another thread, there's no guarantee everyone who 
might try to help read any of your prior messages (especially when you 
were kinda spamming the list up... :-).

When sitting idle? While playing back video? Using mpeg2, mpeg4, mpeg8? 
While recording four streams at once? What video output device? Again, 
more details required...
