I also have had the "...unable to open /dev/video1" problem using Mythbuntu 8.10 x64.
I'm not sure what causes the problem but was able to get past it to configure the capture device by changing the permissions on /dev/video0. I gave full permissions, "sudo chmod 777 /dev/video0" which then allowed me to configure and use the device.
