If you won't be kind enough and install linux for him, then try out
mplayer, you can make it to read from /dev/video0 and dump it to harddrive
with the -dump* options (see the man page). Another option could be to use
vcdgear16 with the -fix and -mpg2mpg options, should fix the last "frame"
that I suspect is the one that really give the problem.

I would still use tanscode to do that for you, I do trust that tool a lot
more, but record first the whoe stream and then run transcode, it will go
quite fast if you don't modify anything (size, framerate, codec).

You won't have any guaranties if you use cat that the last frame will be
okey, but otherwise it should be a proper mpeg. there is supposed to be a
tool for KDE, but can't remember the name that is supposed to be used for
video-in, but I do use cat of simplicity.
