Do you have ivtv-fb loaded?

If so it will lies "over" the video output. You can make it transparent
using ivtvfbctl to set the alpha value:

To set transparency:
ivtvfbctl /dev/fb0 -localalpha

Watch video:
dd if=/tmp/test_capture.mpg of=/dev/video16 bs=64k

Reset alpha:
ivtvfbctl /dev/fb0 -nolocalalpha


Do you see it now?
