+If you're using internal cards, make sure that the correctly input is selected. 
+You can use [v4l2-ctl](https://petersopus.wordpress.com/tag/v4l2/) to configure it, like this (using a Pinnacle 110i pci card):
+
+```console
+v4l2-ctl -i 3 -d 1 --set-standard=0

+- -d 1: the input device (/dev/videoX)
+- --set-standard: 0 is the NTSC option

+You can put it on `/etc/rc.local` or set manually before start capture.
