Any suggestions on how/best way to do the input side of things
pci card / usb box/ units to be avoided.
Don;t really want a Tv card, just a input device

Most of the conversion is done by pc/software isn't it so how important is input device to final quality ?

Over to you ...
What Camcorder do you have. What outputs does it have? Composite / SVideo.
Is this the only Camcorder you have or do you have a newer Digital Camcorder (or access to borrow one?) - Many have analogue capture functionality, my Cannon MV530i does.
How much do you want to convert? If there is not much you may find it easier to outsource.
What do you want your final output to be VCD/SVCD/DVD

Re Conversion quality. Garbage in = Garbage out. You want the best quality capture of the original source to work with.
