I use the xine-plugin with a Matrox G550, using xine's vidix driver (xine -V vidix) on an X11 display.

Personally, I'd try a Matrox G400 as they've got a very nice crisp display and can be obtained on eBay fairly cheaply. I haven't tried the xine-plugin yet, as
I have a working setup using a combination of WebVCR+, Freevo, and a script of my own which WebVCR+ uses to do the actual recording from a TT-budget card, but it is on the list of things to try.
