    Well you can Get a "Hauppaggue WinTV PVR-150" for about $75 which uses Hardware Mpeg-2 Compression and Produces Pretty Good Quality....

    You might have to look on e-bay to get one that Cheap...

    This One here is also Pretty Good From what I hear and it is one of the only Capture cards that uses a 12 bit decoder with Hardware Mpeg-2 compression and it has a 16mb Frame Buffer so you don"t drop frames and it also can capture the audio in Dolby AC3 format which is the best Format for DVD"s....

    I have an ATI AIW which the card above uses the ATI chipset. The ATI AIW card that I use is more expensive but works great. I would recomend an ATI card, they work great.
