Whence does this 7/8560628 value comes from?

The problem is related to this hunk:

memset(&oFormatParams,0,sizeof(AVFormatParameters));
    oFormatParams.standard = "ntsc";
    pIFormat = av_find_input_format("video4linux2");
    bRet = av_open_input_file(&pIFormatCtx, sFile, pIFormat, 0, &oFormatParams);

Note that av_open_input_file() was recently deprecated, maybe something
went wrong in the transition with the new API.

I suggest you to try with latest git, and check if it works with
ffmpeg/ffplay (debugging with gdb will show you why this is happening).
