Which make the xawtv windows small, very small, there can be bandwith problems with the buz. Have you taken a look at the messages when you have loaded the drivers wihtou loading the bttv drivers before ?

Even if you don't see anything in xawtv try recording a video once (maybe without sound) to see if recording work. > another point about the failure to get the buz modules loaded while bttv > is loaded: foir the bttv card i have to load i2c-algol-bit with the > parameter bit-test=1 - might this introduce some incompatibility with > the buz modules.
