Video capture card for linux?

I'm having trouble finding a video capture card product with Linux driver 
support.  The ones that I have seen so far, support Linux only with 
experimental third party drivers.

Do any exist?

Pluses would be -
* S-Video Input
* Onboard size scaling 

IMHO most Hauppauge TV tunerboards (or in other words those using the
connexant chipset (former Brooktree) should do.

A probably better group to ask this questions is rec.video.desktop

I agree. Look for the cards supporting the
following chips:

848
878
879

Theres plenty of support under most UNIX flavors
for these pci cards.

The Hauppage PVR-250 and PVR-350 work fine (if you want
hardware MPEG2 encoding).  If you want a raw frame-grabber,
then most boards with BTTV chipsets work.

Google for "v4l".

www.pixelsmart.com supports S-Video and onboard scaling with linux
support.
