I have just installed it know :-)

Well, I don't know exactly... The problem I have with kvdr is that I
have perfect video, than a small glitch, then perfect video, then a
glitch... which is just annoying.

OK :-)

Well, I always use 1600x1200 for my xv in fullscreen :-)

Well, my solution for know is to use xv in 1600x1200@75 Hz which produce
a perfekt video with xawtv (but it lacks pip that I really like from
your kvdr).

Maybe you could explain me why if I open another xawtv with
xawtv -c /dev/v4l/video1 -noxv -geometry 154x116+1395+241 &
I only get a black screen?
