Well, doing raw DV without transcoding would be fine (if it were on both
platforms), since we can spare the bandwidth - that's what we're already
doing via the ExtendedVideo services on Windows, but we'd like to be able to
move on to something more cross-platform.

Interesting, I'll have to try that out. Would vic theoretically be able to
transmit 640 (or 720)x480 video from a V4L device?

As for the flashing verticle line artifacts on Windows, I don't seem them,

We've seen it here on a couple of different systems - a Dell w/ a dual-core
+ hyperthreading 3.46Ghz CPU, and Suns with 2x dual-core 2.2Ghz Opterons -
so I doubt it's CPU-related. Can anyone else chime in if they've tried the
firewire capture on Windows?
