That worked Nick. I captured from every input on both cards like this:

ivtvctl --device=/dev/video1 -p 4
cat /dev/video1 > video1_input4.mpg

Then just switched the input number and capture again.

As it turns out my PVR250's composite input is on "Composite 4" in
mythtvsetup. Working great now. 

Thanks for the help,
