I never thought at such a problem ! I will probably correct this problem in 
the next version of DVR, but it may also take more time, because the video 
device management is a part of kwintv that I plan to rewrite.

It is weird. Either there is a little bug in avifile, either there are 
inconsistencies in the codec config part of DVR (?). I will have a look at 
this.
