Unable to capure more than one image in Dapper 6.06

[Mark Barton]

I have been using a CLI program call videodog 
(http://paginas.terra.com.br/informatica/gleicon/video4linux/videodog.html) 
to capture single frames from a Avermedia Eyes Pro card (Bt878 based) 
with Suse 10 (2.6.13 kernel). This worked great fine until I  recently 
switched to Ubuntu Dapper 6.06. (2.6.15 kernel). I can capture a good 
frame if my computer is first powered on, however all subsequent 
captures only show a white image with absolutely no detail at all. Now 
if I run Tvtime or Xawtv I can get a continuous image stream, but if I 
then attempt a capture using the videodog program, I will get one good 
image and then nothing but white images after that. I also tried a 
program called streamer that was in the Ubuntu repositories and it gave 
the same results. I did try v4lctl and fiddling with some of the 
control, but that didn't work either.

I feel that this is a setting or perhaps something was added to the 
driver that is not initialized correctly in the older CLI programs 
although I did look at the boot log messages and both SUSE and Ubuntu 
are using the same bttv driver version.

 From dmesg...

. I would appreciate it if someone  and can point in the right direction 
for troubleshooting the problem. I certainly don't might digging down 
into application or driver code if necessary
