If you don't have a lot of disk bandwidth (like I don't), you'd probably like a
motion-JPEG card, such as the Pinnacle Studio DC10+ (the card I'm currently using).
It can grab more frames than a Bt8x8 can on a bandwidth-limited system like mine, but
post-production can be a bit of a bear. You'd have to also use an external tuner,
such as a VCR, since the DC10+ only has a composite and an S-Video input.
