The best known of these type of devices is "Snappy", but Snappy just
captures one picture at a time from the video source. You need some
kind of converter card to digitize the analog video signals into
digital video signals.

If you can find print magazines "Digital Video" or "Videomaker", you
can check the ads in those publications for the types of products you
seek. The web sites of each of these publications may also provide you
some information in this regard:

Then after getting this into a digital format, you need to have some
means of compressing the file and writing it to CD. I believe Apple's
Quicktime Pro for about $30, does this for you:
