I was just looking at this device ... http://www.adstech.com/products/API-555/sysreq/API555req.asp?pid=API-555 It looks like it more or less converts component into FireWire (can do more than that though). Drawbacks being it only takes stereo audio, but can get around that by capturing off a soundcard that supports digital input... Also, i'd need to hack MythTV to support raw 1394, instead of MPEG2 compressed streams, but that shouldn't be much work, just means the CPU requirements will shoot through the roof. (Also, I can't tell, it's possible that it might downgrade the video to 420p, which would not be very good, but still better than most other solutions for the price :/ ~$180.00 @ CDW)

interesting ... I would have thought it would have to interpret/construct the data before passing it on ... Obviously I'm wrong ... None the less, I'd like to see a card that could handle Component or HDMI/DVI input... That HD3000 card says it can handle composite or SVideo in, so I'd have figured it's at least doing something there? (just need to expand upon that for component I would think, though DVI/HDMI might diverge a bit more .. don't know)

There are such cards, they cost thousands.
