What happens with no xawtv file?
Side Note: XVideo is not required. It is present in newer XFree86's
I think.

The -t never works for me either.

Keep in mind that you first have to setup your card before you can capture.
This means setting the norm and tuning in a channel. I use Xawtv for this.
That is most likely the cause of this problem.
BTW: From personal expreience I find that streamer (part of the xawtv
package) works better than bttvgrab. Unfortunately, I can not get
either program to keey audio sync.
