Default I need advice on video editing hardware

Sometime in the not too distant future, I'll be upgrading/modifying my wife's system for video editing. I have some stuff in mind for basic upgrades, but I'm stuck on the capture hardware, as far as what's good.

The system will be:
XP Pro SP2
Biostar PT880 Pro-A7 Combo (current board)
P4 630 3Ghz LGA775 (current CPU)
2GB DDR2 533 (upgrade)
160GB Maxtor (current system drive)
400 GB WD SATA150 (addition/upgrade)
GF 7600GT (upgrade)
Acer 22" LCD W/S (upgrade)
OCZ 450W PSU (current)

As for the capture HW, I'm lost. I've looked at this package and this one, but the reviews are hit or miss. Or would it be better to get something like this card? It seems like video editing is a touchy area, and I basically know what's needed, but I need some guidance here.



If it's not fixed, then don't broke it!

Most likely some bits and pieces of DVDs to make short compilations with music added, and also to get some old stuff from VHS into a digital format to put onto DVD.
