Is this composite video?  Your capture card might have some example 
apps including command line apps or scriptable apps.  (Or an SDK 
for it.)  You might be able to use one of those, or--should you 
have time and inclination--modify one.

If this is a firewire or USB camera, you still might have some apps 
that apply.

I'm currently using DirectShow with an Osprey 2000 on Windows 
2000.  I found some ways that a recording can be made with 
something like Revolution.  (I had to go with C++ for several 
reasons, though.)  I would expect that on the Mac you would find 
both general and specific apps that can help.
