Normally this only happens if your processing pipeline can't run in
realtime, e.g. if you are encoding full-frame theora or if your libdv is
unoptimized (ppc, amd64 before libdv 0.104). Try upping the drop-factor
on dvdec maybe?

It seems that's where development is these days. Well I'll be working on
dv1394src today and maybe tomorrow, in 0.9, so I suppose it's time to
start thinking about this stuff.
