Intensity is $250.

If you want something of DVD quality go with something like this:

WinTV $70 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...

If you just want to post youtube videos anything will do such as this for $25 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...

The only problem you'll have with the really cheap capture cards is that they won't do hardware encoding so you're CPU will have to be utilized, but this is only a problem if you have a really bad PC (500mhz or lower).

Also you'll need and a/v switch so that it outputs to both your TV and your PC. You can hook it up straight to your PC but there is a delay and even cards that say they don't have a delay have minor ones where it can be a real annoyance.
