Capturing video with Intel Smart Video Recorder III

Please help. I am having some difficulty in capturing video with this 
card. I have compiled a new kernel with the bktr driver. I have tried 
NuppelVideo:

nuvrec -n -V /dev/bktr0 -A /dev/dsp0.0 test

I get sound but just a blue screen. No video.

I have also tried ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -vd /dev/bktr0 -ad /dev/dsp0.0 test.mpg

I get an unusable file.

Is there a more appropriate program to capture video with this card (as 
it doesn't have a tuner) or is there a setting I have missed to setup?

Here is my dmesg and kernel config.
