Maybe I can test that today AFTER I finish testing removal of libavdevice from ffmpeg. I am having trouble getting video to be captured because of "bad file format" but got audio captured just fine. I am fairly certain that it can be removed, but I still want to make sure I can get the video capture to work anyway -- it reacts the same before and after the 0002-Remove libavdevice... patch is in. So it is just that I do not know what I am doing.
are you capturing from tuner or webcam?
some laptop webcams offer both mjpeg and yuvy (?) streams, so mjpeg one errors out (as I noticed in bugtracker) but yuy2 still works (if recording to ffmpeg-type video).
also, webcams in the dark (like unlit room at evening) tend to provide only slow framerate....
