Important.png Note: MythTV supports capture APIs, not capture devices. This is not a full list of usable devices. For a full list of supported devices, see the LinuxTV wiki for the relevant API.

These types of capture cards are the preferred method of recording analog video. The card compressed the audio and video in hardware, and multiplexes them into a convenient video stream send to the host system.
