This is absolutely possible... mythtv may not be the ideal tool if your
goal is just to review the video recorded once you get back to the office.
 Like using a sledgehammer to drive a nail.  I'd just organize my videos
into folders and use VLC to watch them.

Mythtv's strength is television.

Personally, having been on these party buses in the past an seen what goes
on, I'm sure it would make for entertaining watching afterward, but I am
not so sure that adding cameras is such a good idea. I know I would not be
a happy customer if I discovered that I was being recorded.
