video capture cards

I have been looking for a capture card to move analog tapes to digital...
from what i've read on the net, most of these cards are not rated very well.
I don't need a TV tuner or a $500 video card. Does mayone have any experience
with Pinnacle Studio AV/DV Version 9? I'm using a P4 2.0 win XP with 256 ram.

For analogue capture I use a matrox G450eTV, it captures directly to MPEG
using the supplied PCVCR software and Nero will burn them as DVD.
I bought Studio 9 but could never get it to work, can't return it because it
came with a Firewire card and cable which I use for DV camcorder..
Now I use DVD Movie Factory 4, have also bought Premiere Elements, am
studying Adobe's "Classroom in a Book" and "Premiere Elements for Dummies"
at present and it looks very good.

What did you pay for the Matrox card?
