Which card is it and more over, any idea which chip set it uses?

No.

Without knowing a bit more, it's hard to say, but kudzu should really
have picked it up if it's something that it knows. Just to make sure do
the following
open a terminal window
/sbin/lspci
(mine shows up as
02:07.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video
Capture (rev 11)
02:07.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture
(rev 11)
(lspci should show you everything connected, even if the system hasn't
loaded the modules)
/sbin/lsmod
(mine shows [amongst others]
Module name used by
bttv bt878
video_buf bttv
i2c_algo_bit bttv
v4l2_common bttv
btcx_risc bttv
tveeprom bttv
videodev bttv
i2c_core tuner,tad9887,msp3400,bttv,i2c_algo_bit,tveeprom
The important module there is v4l2_common - the video4linux module
The MCC module? By the looks of it, you need to download the sdk from
http://www.mccengineering.com/linuxsdks.htm - compile and install then
add a line to modprobe.conf to autoload the module on reboot. But
without actually knowing the make of the TV card...
