Best bargain card for digital video?

I've been tasked to build a system capable of doing some digital video work. But the person is on a fairly tight budget. I've scoped out the rest of the system, but need some help on the video card. What should I look for in a card? I plan to install a firewire card so will have that access. If so, should I even bother with specialized ports (s-video in/out, vivo, etc.) on the video card?
 
If the person has a Firewire ready camera than all you need is a firewire card. If he has non-DV video that he wants to get onto the computer he can either record it onto the DV camera first, or some DV camera's can act as a converter so all you'd have to do was hook up analog device into DV camera and then DV camera into computer over firewire.

Yes, this is true, however it is always important to have analog inputs in case you ever receive non-dv material. Dual monitor support is very important as well so you can have your preview and program being displayed. This card looks here as if it would prove to be an excellent card. and for $149 w/ free shipping it aint bad at all...
