	With the version of ffmpeg currently in the ports the input
source is fixed at compile time, so as long as you want the one you
compiled it for (WITH_BROOKTREE_INPUT=x) all will be well automatically.
If you also want to set the tuner you will need something like
bsdbktr_tvtune, or mplayer can be set to play one frame to /dev/null
and set it all up as a side effect :)

	The are two newer versions of ffmpeg port skeletons on
ftp.sohara.org both of which respond to environment variables for input,
format and frequency, the -cvs one also has a command line option for
format.
