need a video capture card; just starting

[Lorax]

so i want to get into the wide world of video editing, strictly from my computer. (actually just trying to play around with some stuff from the camcorder)

any good recommendations for a good card that has video and audio capture inputs? (also looking for one with a tv tuner, if possible)

thanks

ATI All-in-Wonder. If you are a gamer, get the Radeon version. If you are not a gamer, you could probably settle for the Rage 128 Pro version. I didn't search around, but I know that the Radeon retail version can be had for $201 shipped and the Rage 128 Pro retail version is around $129 shipped from Newegg.com. If you don't mind OEM or refurbished, you could save a little more money. You can check out Anandtech's reviews here: ATI All-in-Wonder 128 and ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 32MB DDR.

if i keep an existing video card (geforce2 mx) and install the radeon, will i need 2 monitors or have to switch monitor plugs?

if i do is there a peripheral out there that just does tv in/out without all the other video card features?
