Best mpeg2 capture card for under $200 for Windows?

[snaimpally]

I have a DVD burner and am converting VHS and laserdisc to be burnt on DVD. I have tried using my Gainward Ti/500 Vivo card but have to convert from AVI to MPEG2.

I think my best solution is to get a card that will convert to mpeg2 in real-time.

There are so many cards out there. Please help me narrow the field down. Please be opinionated. Tell me whats good and what to avoid. Thanks!

P4 1.7Ghz, 512M DDR, 2 80G Maxtor 7200/133, Win ME.
