[AG-TECH] Falcon Quattro video capture config issue

[Cindy Sievers]

I don't have a good answer to your first questions, but the frame rate is 
something I have run into before. Is your machine a single processor 
machine? I have experienced low frame rates (4-15 frames/sec) on a single 
processor machine.  If I add another processor, then the frame rate 
increases to ~25 f/s.
