You can capture using your video card with the rivatv software <a href="http://rivatv.sourceforge.net/" title="sourceforge.net">http://rivatv.sourceforge.net/</a sourceforge.net>. You might well get better quality letting the Plextor TV402-U do the capture though. There's a Linux SDK available for it I believe. If you want to edit your video with simple tools, then there are the MJPEGtools on Sourceforge too <a href="http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/" title="sourceforge.net">http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/</a sourceforge.net>. They include tools to clean up your video as well. The output from the MJPEGtools chain is usually MPEG2 in VCD/SVCD/DVD which can be written to CD or DVD relatively easily.
