[mythtv-users] FireWire output as display?

With the talk on the list lately about how to get the highest quality  
display from MythTV I started wondering about the possibility of  
using a FireWire in/out box as the display device for MythTV.  I  
would think it would provide rather high quality output, and DV is a  
rather simple codec, I don't think the average MythTV box would have  
too much trouble encoding it in real-time.  You wouldn't get Xv, but  
scaling to 720x480 shouldn't be too hard and I'm not certain you'd  
even need to do color space conversion.  Am I missing something obvious?
