apparently theres a new video hardware mod this company (katsukity) is doing for people, which allows you to play your vita on a big screen tv. Below you will see a vid of it in action. This is the same company who made the capture card for the 3ds so its pretty legit.
(notice the usb port at the bottom)

since the screen itself is still working, I would say both.
I found out that it adds a mini-usb port at the bottom for the screen out: http://home.consoleheaven.de/
Now only if they try to see what happens if the reroute the memory card to the USB, if we are lucky, it might not be encrypted and we might get raw access

Somebody needs to learn how to make things looking good, that hole for miniUSB port looks little bit... ehm... i don't have any word for that (pic from http://home.consoleheaven.de/?p=41)
But it's nice to see that it's possible to capture on-screen video from vita

Since it's not official Sony addition it is possible that it should work but nobody (except katsukity) knows how it really works
I was gonna make a post about the Vita capture card, but it seems you beat me to it.

I think the cosmetics of the installation are just fine. It cuts into the model sticker, but really who cares about that? If it were sticking out beyond the shell I would have issues, but it looks flush to me (set in just a bit would be a bit better). The location of the mini USB is probably dictated by where the connection points are within the VITA. I would be in line to get this, if there were such a line.
