Look at the Dazzle devices. The DVC came with EMC 10 Deluxe; the DVC 90 came with EMC 9 Deluxe.  They are USB devices.

They work fine; I used both of the devices I listed. Like anything else, they need to have the right drivers installed properly and sometimes be installed on a USB port in the back of your computer.

Here is a list of tested capture devices.  It does not list all that do work.

I had a Pinnacle A/V card and it worked well.

My personal observation -- I know you didn't ask.  I had more problems with A/V sync using an internal card than I did with a USB device.  Your video card and audio card operate independently and may operate with different acceleration.  The simple cure is to capture in 10-15 minute intervals and put the files together in Video Wave  

With the Pinnacle DVC 90, there were no sync problems but I thought that the video was slightly "soft".  The DVC 100 gave me quality as good as the internal card.  I have removed that internal card from my computer since the DVC 100 worked so well (and I got a HiDef digital camcorder.
