Yes, but that seems to confirm there is a synchronization problem
with the bttv driver.

What annoys me is that XFree 4.4.0 is not released and certainly won't be
included in any distribution for a while (the license problem are real,
distro cannot distribute it. Users can install it after, but they cannot use
it natively). I fear 4.3.0 *will be* the version you'll have to "support",
until a fork occurs and XFree core devel team disolves.

Anyway, I'll try to install 4.4.0 to check if the problem is really an Xv
problem, as soon as it'll be released (won't try RC3, since my computer
takes too long time to compile anything, better wait).

Thanks, will tell you the results next week.
