[snipped bugs fixed]

The very good news is that my machine records full height video encoded 
with Huffyuv without any problems. I really like this.

The problem with DScaler hanging on start or stop recording remains (this 
time it took 18 recordings before the problem occurred). I wonder if this 
is a threading problem. I have only tested on a machine with 
HyperThreading, maybe this explains why I see the problem and you don't? I 
guess a threading issue occurs far more often on a machine with HyperThreading.

I noticed the file compression thread runs on the same (virtual) CPU as the 
thread that does all DScaler's hard work. It would be better if this 
happens on another CPU, with a dual CPU (or single CPU HyperThreading) 
system this means the CPU that does housekeeping (the first CPU).
