Register from TV: problem with colorspace.

I own a DC60+ Easycap device, but at the moment I cannot record.

You might read here about my previous vane tries with mencoder:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mencoder-users/2009-August/010669.html

In the movies I encode with mencoder the video track goes a little faster than
the audio track: after a while the audio delay is unacceptable.

So I decided to give transcode a try... Here I am, I cannot even start to record.

I got most of the informations from:
http://www.transcoding.org/transcode?Video4linux_Examples ,
http://www.transcoding.org/transcode?Import_Modules/Import_V4l2
and the f...antastic manual of course.

but I continue to get this error:

[import_v4l2.so] critical: colorspace (2) must be one of RGB, YUV 4:2:0 or YUV 4:2:2
It does matter what format I put in -V: yuv420p, yuv422p or rgb24.

Here a dump of my bash:

Please do not focus on the alsa device: I cannot record the video!

I do not know if it might help, but I can play just fine with:
$ mplayer -tv width=704:height=576:fps=25:driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video1\
:norm=PAL:input=0:forceaudio:alsa:adevice=dc60_plus:immediatemode=0\
:amode=1:audiorate=48000 tv://


Thanks a lot.
