Problems capturing dv input

So a long time ago, I tried capturing video from my MiniDV camcorder (Canon
Optura 100) on my SuSE 9.0 server. It came out as garbage, I figured it was
because the release was so old.
Well, I just got a PCMCIA firewire card from my laptop running SuSE 9.2, and
I'm getting the same thing. Different hardware, different OS (the camcorder
is the same, obviously).
The output looks like this: There are three or four or so blocky areas that
flash random-looking blocks of colors. The rest is blank. I tried Main
Actor and Kino. They control the camera fine, and I only see this pattern
when I'm actually sending output from the camera, so it's not random noise
from some other source.
Here's two raw dv captures:

Any clues?
