    Avermedia DVD EZMaker PCI (best for AVI cpature)

    Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 (hardware MPEG only no AVI capture)

    The ATI AIW capture cards which is a video card that also functions as a capture card. These can do AVI and MPEG but if you really want to capture straight to MPEG you might be better off with the Hauppauge capture card.

    I'll second FulciLives. Had that card (PVR250, that is) some 6 months, and am very pleased with it. Nice clean captures, easy to make your own settings (bitrate, resolution) if the presets aren't to your liking, output ready to author to DVD.
    As my end product 99 times out of 100 is a DVD, I can live with having to reencode to AVI that 1% - I'd hate it if it was the other way around...
    And as the mpeg encoding is 100% hardware, it takes no toll at all on your system - You can capture and play Doom3 at the same time if you wish, not losing a single frame.
