I have seen some Mac G3 Beige systems with the personality card that has Audio/Video input and output (s-video and RCA). What programs on what OS version are compatible with this hardware?
 
Classic MacOS has built in drivers. MacOS X does not. The capabilities are kinda useless though as the capture chips used weren't all that great on top of the I/O bottlenecks in the machine.
 
IIRC, the built-in Apple Video Player could display the video sources from the personality card. Due to the bus layout, you'll get the best performance displaying video on the integrated ATI Rage video, rather than a PCI card.

The quality wasn't anything to write home about, but it worked well enough.
