Anything supported by the mjpeg tools (mjpeg.sf.net) "should" work.  The
only such cards that I know for a fact that people have used with Myth are
the Matrox Marvel G200 and G400 series cards (not G450 or above).  Other
cards that should work would be the Iomega Buz and Pinnicle(sp) DC10 and
maybe DC30.  The Matrox and Iomega cards are out of production but still
widely available.

You might want to check the archives for more discussions on these cards.
