I had this issue with my bt card.  The video tape looked just fine on TV, but when I 
captured it would studder - it was duplicating frames, sometimes just a single field 
(which was really weird).  The bttv module has a 'vcr_hack' option that eliminated 
this problem.  I don't know if something similar is going on with the lml33 or not.  
The issue as I recall is the signal is a bit distorted.  A TV can compensate for it.  
The capture card tries, but by the time it realizes it didn't get the sync signal it 
is too late so it has to wait for the next frame.  This causes the capture to appear 
to stay on a frame for a period of time.  The 'hack' was to not grab the last 2 lines 
(or something like that) which allowed the card enough time to recover.  I only 
vaguely know what I'm talking about here, so please forgive me if I'm explaining this 
incorrectly.  Anyway, it makes me curious if the lml33 has a similar issue that could 
be resolved in a similar manner.  Enabling vcr_hack allowe
 d me to record a number of video tapes flawlessly that previously were very 
problematic to record.
