Weird ... PAL-NC (along with PAL-M and PAL-N) are South American variants of
PAL - PAL-NC is indigineous to Argentina.  PAL variants usually encode
picture information the same way, but the colour information and/or sound is
transmitted on a slightly different sub-carrier, which is possibly one
reason why you're running into problems here.  PAL-I is the UK standard.

Something also to check is how you're loading the bttv module?  check and
see what number is in the card=X parameter and make sure you're loading
module with the right setting for your card - a full list should be
available in the kernel source tree -
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST
