recordQT4L uses a rather new API of libquicktime (which, btw, is not
compatible with quicktime4linux any more); so you need a recent version
of libquicktime (on my debian machine i have 0.9.7)

so the answer is basically: use an uptodate distribution like debian and
not something old and rotten like ubuntu :-) (funny world this is)

i don't know how ubuntu is upgraded, but you could bother the
maintainers for getting a newer version of libquicktime in the next release.
