I have one of these:

http://www.canopus.us/US/products/ADVC-100/pm_advc-100.asp

It's generally considered the best in its class.  It's a bidirectional 
DV/analog video converter.  Remember that anything without a hardware 
encoder is going to be pushing a phenomenal amount of bandwidth down the 
pipe.  That's why there aren't any software USB 1 video converters.  If 
you're limited in any way by storage or CPU, you want the box doing the 
work.

Thanks,
Vito
