It would also be interesting to know whether you have problems with
*only* the video capture, with some tool like "cheese". It might be
you're hitting a host controller issue here, and then isochronous input
packets on the video interface would most likely also trigger such am
effect. Actually, knowing whether that's the case would be crucial for
further debugging.
