Based on the previous message, I think he is using HDV. Therefore:

$ dvgrab -f hdv [options] <basename> - | ffplay -f mpegts -

You might want to reduce the size of the ffplay window:

$ dvgrab -f hdv [options] <basename> - | ffplay -f mpegts -x 640 -y 360 -

Distortions you see in the monitor are not necessarily in the capture
file. The above assume you want to capture at the same time as
monitoring. To only monitor, leave out the <basename>.
