I bought a Voodoo 3500TV in/out (aprox. US$160) and with the beta drivers for w2k it works fine.

Just in case no-one's piped up with a solution yet...!
The ATI TV Wonder tuner card ($70) can be used to capture stills. Dead easy,
just select the video-in instead of cable-in, then use the camera icon to
grab any pics. Alternatively, you can the digital VCR utility to record the
entire video signal to disk, then go back and grab and stills that you want.
The ATI TV Wonder VE can what you want as well, for

Of course, being able to watch cable-TV on the PC comes in handy too at
times :-).
Not sure about the quality though - if you want, I can try grabbing a few
pics off my camera and send you the images so you can judge the quality for
yourself.
Note: Once properly set up, the ATI Multimedia Utilities are easy to use.
However, ATI's driver installation process seem to be in permanent beta
mode, so expect a few "issues" when trying to install them. Once installed
though, they seem to work well.
My card was provided with older drivers that don't support W2K. However,
you can download drivers that do support W2K from their website.

Alternatively, you could simply use one of ATI's All-In-Wonder cards that
works as a normal video card as well as providing video/still capturing
facilities. That way you can get the still-capturing without having to add
an extra card to the system.
