How do I do that?

In your fedora menu should somewhere be "Security Level" or similar.  It launches system-config-securitylevel on FC5 and I think that system utility is the same for FC4.  There's a tab on this for SELinux and a pick-list to set it's behavior and you can choose Permissive here.  This sets SELinux to log security issues but not to prevent programs from running.  As an example, I couldn't run mythtvsetup until I changed a rule that SELinux had for programs that relocate text.  By setting Permissive I saw that there was nothing wrong with my installation (and was able to complete myth setup).  Later I dug into it to find out what SELinux was preventing.

Maybe I'll take Petter Gundersen's advice and load Windows on the
machine to see if it works with that.  If it doesn't, I'll know that I
have a bad card and can return it to the manufacturer.

That seems the best choice at this point.  From the testing you did I think the card is ok.  I got similar output from ivtvctl -k (sync) though anyone knowing details of what this does I'd appreciate hearing from you!  I *think* it reads and report frame by frame but both our outputs say 0 frames.

Sorry this didn't work out, but try SELinux permissive before you give up, ok?  ;)
