Why not simply use my

analogTV-plugin? This way you dont need mplayer!

You can use any bt848/bt878 grabber/TV card, i personally totally happy
with a (cheap) "Pinnacle Studio PCTV pro" using the build in s-video or
composite input. (Dont forget to buy a "stereo" card, and dont forget to
buy a soundcard too - you need it to record the sound!)

Ciao,
Andreas
