[mpeg2] Problems with Kfir drivers and newer kernels

["Mark Cuss" <mcuss@cdlsystems.com>]

Hello all

I was curious to see if anyone has had any troubles with the kfir drivers
and new kernels (say 2.4.3 and newer?).  I had it working OK with 2.4.1, but
now on 2.4.7 and 2.4.9 the videodev object shipped with the kfir is quite
different than the kernel one. I just opted to use the kernel one instead
and modifed kfir.c to pass an extra argument that was required for a
register video device call.

With this setup, I am able to play back the first MPEG that I capture.  If I
ctrl-c and capture another one, the capture seems to work, but the resulting
MPEG2 is all garbled / blocky and usually crashes my mpeg2 decoder.  If
anyone has seen this or has any suggestions, they would be greatly
appreciated.
