Matrox has always been one of the best video card vendors IMHO. I've
always been very pleased with their cards.
That said, I think my next card will be an ATI All-In-Wonder, because I
know of people who have used it to do video capture with Linux and have
been pleased.
I haven't checked around, though. If I find a Matrox card to do the same
thing for a decent price... I might try it even if I haven't heard
anything about it for Linux Video Capture. They are that good.

i've heard lots of good stuff about matrox cards especially for playing
movies under mplayer. Back when I had problems with mplayer the authors
told
me to get rid of my geforce and get a matrox. I personally like my geforce
(although the drivers aren't superb), I know that the matrox drivers are
open
source (therefore have probably been ported to freebsd etc) and are
supposed
to be really good. I think matrox even has a linux control panel to setup
their cards and stuff
