Standard Slackware 10.0 install, with only very minor changes. 
Shouldn't be anything weird about it at all.

That would be my guess as well.  It could also be that I'm using a 2.4
kernel, while you are using 2.6.

They're just TV-card captures...  4Mbit MPEG-2 video (NTSC: 720x480
interlaced), with 384kbit 2ch MP2 audio. You could use a DVB stream,  or
dump a DVD to disk (and re-encode the audio to MP2).
