Capture and Record via USB

We would like to install Mythbuntu 12.04 on a laptop and a Zotac ZBOX. So no PCI slots.

The purpose is to capture video and record from various streams that have Svideo or composite output.
We are looking for a USB device that accepts Svideo and RCA audio inputs.
This means HD video is nice but not required.

After digging around, it appears that some people have suggested the ...

Are you actually planning on recording scheduled TV, or are you just
going to be manually capturing from arbitrary devices?

Video and audio needs to be captured from:
VCR tapes
DVDs
Medical equipment, instruments
Channel Master D2A 
Apple Micro-DVI to Svideo adapter

This material that will be connected to the (USB's) Svideo and RCA audio.

Assuming that the USB device is associated with a channel number and there are multiple USB capture devices.
The captured content will organized by the respective (theme) channel.

I'm happily using the HD-PVR from Hauppauge. Been working for about two
weeks now with not a single problem.

MythTV is not suited to these duties.

Not even with the Channel Master D2A ?

http://www.amazon.com/Channel-Master-Digital-Converter-S-Video/dp/B002KJDJYS/

It is a setop box that takes an ATSC input and provides a Svideo output.
Please see pages 6 and 7 in the manual.

Well you _could_ do that, but that would just be stupid. If you want to
record digital TV, get a digital TV tuner (which the HVR-1950 is).
However, my point was that MythTV is not designed to record arbitrary
video. It is designed to record scheduled television with guide data.
You can use it to manually record off all those other devices, but you
would be much better off with a simpler utility. The HVR-1950 will
create a device node, /dev/video0, on your system. You can simply
concatenate that to a file to produce an MPEG2 video.

Scot,

Sorry, please ignore my last post.

Are you talking about the Hauppauge 1212 HD-PVR ?
