/var/log/messages probably contains the 'dmesg' output of just beore the crash (there's timestamps in front of each messages), look at the messages just before the crash and see if there's anything interesting in there. To be sure it's the video driver causing the crash, could you try without audio (lavrec -a 0 ...; with xawtv) and see if that crashes too? Also, could you try without xawtv (but with audio) and see if that causes crashes too? When it doesn't (and assuming you're using the nvidia.com binary driver), could you try the XFree86 'nv' opensource driver and re-try that too (now with audio+xawtv)? This is all just to pin down the exact problem.
