.. I have a little package in front of me that I picked-up at Aldies ( a food chain ) and it might be just what your looking for.
1) it has a USB 2.0 plug-in for Capturing things from your VCR, CamCorder or DVD Player.
2) it comes with "ArcSoft's Showbiz" a single line Video Editor and it can take your final edits directly to CD -or- DVD ( depending on which Burner you have. )
3) its requirements are an 800mhz computer with 128meg RAM for normal encodes and a 1.6gig processor with 512meg RAM for HD 16X9 editing.
.. I use this on my LapTop when I'm not using my USB WinTV-950 ASTC/NTSC TV Tuner for capturing things
for $29.95, I thought the price wasn't too outrageous.
