Capture Card?

[Kapp]

I am trying to figure out how to do this:

I want to put things from my TV right onto my comp into a .mpg or .avi format. How can I do this? I want the quality to be perfect..am I able to do this..and if so how? I want to be able to rip tv shows and stuff onto my comp..

thanks

check out http://www.hauppauge.com

they have simple WinTV boards for around $50, and professional grade one upwards of $200. It depends how high quality you want the analog capture to be. But Hauppauge makes the most compatible and easiest to install capture cards out there.

From what i hear Hauppauge is great, just to give you a selection i also hear great things about the Leadtek TV 2000 XP.

I got the LeadTek TV 2000 XP Deluxe from Newegg.com for $60 and its awesome ... just download the newest drivers from LeadTek's site and everything is awesome.

Very nice picture quality, and a nice feature list. You won't be disappointed.
