I have been working on the exact same problem.  So far, here is what has and
has not worked:

    Not worked:
        bttv + streamer - bad a/v sync
        bttv + bttvgrab - filesize too big
        bttv + fame - no audio support
        bttv + bcast2k - it's quicktime

    Has worked:
        bttv + realproducer - great a/v sync.  rock solid.  .rm only
        dc10 + lavrec - also good a/v.  Does hardware mjpeg.  No tuner :(

I have not yet tried AviFile, but I don't have my hopes up.  Until
I get support for the WinPVR or whatever, I am going to use either
realproducer, or lavrec + dc10 and control a VCR to change channels.

Although it is a pain in the ass to get good automated video capture
working under Linux, it is worth the effort.  I have a Linux box
that has been doing about 5 x 30min real video captures a day for the
last 5 months.  (like 50 gigs of compressed video) There has not been a
single hiccup and I have not lost a single capture.  I tried to do the same
on a windows box and could only get one or two captures off before
I needed to reboot.
