Video Capture suggestions?

[LarryBoy]

I want to do some video capture to my computer to burn to DVD with special effects etc. Does anybody here have suggestions for capture hardware? I've been trying Pinnacles DVC150 USB 2.0 capture device and it seems to work only part of the time - I spend more time rebooting, try this, rebooting, try this, etc. just to get it to work than I do capturing video - very frustrating. I'm considering Adaptecs VideOh PCI card. Thanks for any input!

I'd also like suggestions on a capture box, the cheaper the better, I need it to backup home movies to DVD. I can always grab a cheap DVD burner.
