I have a Matrox Millennium G200 with the Rainbow-Runner G-series card, which
can do what you require. It was a little expensive, but I am very happy with
the set-up. The Rainbow-Runner also comes with the Ulead package of software
for photo and video editing. My set-up uses two cards, 1 AGP (the g200) and
one PCI (the rainbow runner). Matrox has since come out with the Marvel G200
which only uses 1 AGP card and an external box, which could also be a
consideration. I believe that it is only slightly more expensive than my
set-up.
