Ffmpeg camera + Amcrest DVR = Screen Tearing

Does anyone know what causes this?

Running HASS.io on ODROID-XU4.

My configuration:

camera:
    - platform: ffmpeg
      name: Backyard
      input: !secret DVR_Channel03
      extra_arguments: '-q:v 1 -r 25 -vf "scale=800:600"'

This is pulling the stream from my Amcrest DVR on my local network:

DVR_Channel03: rtsp://user:pass@DVRIP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=3&subtype=0

If I go with subtype=1 then this doesn’t happen but the image quality is very poor.

Next time it grabs a frame then it usually looks ok.

I pulled the extra arguments off the Internet somewhere. Not sure what they mean other than the scale so I am open to suggestions.

Thanks!
