It seems my current capture card stopped working, so it’s time to get a new one.

I need a capture card that has built in composite inputs (the yellow, white, and red plugs). It should also come with its own capture software (I already have the editing part covered) that captures in AVI. Also, I’m hoping for decent quality (at least 640x480 that looks respectable).

Any suggestions? The price should ideally be around $100 or less, but I’m flexible.
