Don`t hurt me too bad if I seem to be posting a lot of TigerDirect stuff. They just told me their top sellers and I`m just picking out the more interesting ones. This little device retailed for about $90 and it looks pretty cool. No need for an expensive video capture card. Here`s an exerpt of it:

    USB Live! captures video that you can view and use with all popular video imaging capture applications. USB Live! is the ideal way to bring video and still images into your computer from various standard video sources, such as computer video cameras, camcorders, DVD, VCRs or TV tuners. Advanced compression technology and software enable unparalleled throughput of up to 30 frames per second, for CIF size color images (352x288). This gives the user superior live video performance, while using minimal CPU resources. Installation is a true plug and play experience. High resolution still image capture at 640x480 RGB 24 bit (NTSC)

Pretty interesting stuff. Cool if you are on a budget, but still need to capture from an analog video source. TIGERDIRECT
