I have looked at the miro AC10 and the LML33 cards, but I'm ?????? The Miro AC10 does not exist. You probably mean the DC10.

Not possible. The DC10+/LML33 driver only allows compressed capture or uncompressed capture, but it doesn't allow compression of memory-stored frames. I'm very sceptic about whether this is at all possible (apart from the driver implementation). So unless you want to redesign the driver, take the risk that it might not be possible at all, etc., it's best to just use the BTTV card and do encoding using the processor.
