The usual I use is a Hauppaugge PCI TV/Capture card. This and ATI models for 39 or so bucks work fine to get the capture step done. NONE integrate with the video editor so if that is what you want then expect to pay a lot more.
Here's a cheap USB 2.0 capture device -> http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=AVC-1400&cat=CON

I have a Plextor ConvertX Capture device, but am unhappy with the bundled software, WinDVD. I'm looking at a Pinaacle device, but a new program would be cheaper. I just need to be able to capture to a file format compatible wiht Adobe Premiere and Movie Maker. Any ideas??
