It's Unix. Want to capture the video? Stream it from the device node.
cat /dev/video0 > somefile.raw
The BT848 is a dinosaur. It's been out of date for about 10 years
already. Something more modern like a PVR150 (discontinued) or a HDPVR
might be a be more useful.
A modern card will capture in something like MPEG2 and do the heavy
lifting associated with video compression. Otherwise, your capture files
are going to be huge and you will have to compress those with whatever
CPU power you happen to have lying around.

I had a BT based card in the 90s.

Mac users aren't supposed to be capable of organizing their
own files with the Finder or browse the storage on a digital
camera yet they can be expected to track down their own QT
extensions with no real help from Apple.
