Video Capture or VIVO? Copying home movies to DVD

Building new system. Has plenty of memory, disk and CPU and want to be able to convert VHS home movies to DVD. No firewire port on camcorder. Sound card does have firewire but not native to MB. Have not purchased video card yet. What is the best way to go to minimize cost?

Video Capture card? TV/Cable/PVR not needed but could be used if cost not extreme

Video Card with VIVO? Card needs to be Nvidia chip (5600 or higher)

VCR has RCA ports and camcorder has RCA + S-Video

Recommendations please

Thanks
 
Most people seem to think that a dedicated video capture card, such as a Hauppage PVR 250 is better than an ATI All in Wonder card, as it has hardware encoding. I have used both and prefer the separate video capture card as it to my eyes provides better quality video. A separate card also lets you upgrade your video card separately and at a lower cost than replacing an AIW card.

Hope that helps.
