I've always wanted to get one of these, but have not gotten around it (yet). This solution from Turtle Beach makes it much easier with a USB connection.
Record video to your PC, and fill those lonely hard drives up. Gazing at the box, I read promises of recording from many different mediums such as VHS tapes, video cameras, Television, DVD’s and anything else you could find to hook up with svideo or composite connections. Overall the Video Advantage USB is a great alternative to a PCI card. If you have a laptop and would like to do some capturing this is also a great option. The programs that are bundled are easy to use, and come with lots of features to tweak out the exact format and size of file you desire. There is also editing and burning software that accompanies this product allowing you to make a full featured movie to go. I did not like the copyright restriction that came along with this however. Being able to record TV and DVD’s are the main reason people would purchase something like this. I had no problems with dropped frames, or audio lag with my AMD 2500+/1GB RAM computer
The copyright restriction is rather annoying. It really limits the uses of such a device.
