The DVD drive on your computer will work just fine.
Use DVD Decrypter to "Rip" the DVD and "capture the footage"

No harm is done to the DVD during the "Ripping" process
DVD Decrypter is found here---->

Well thats the best way to capture footage that I know. Also most Walmarts dont carry PCI Capture Cards but, they do carry DVD ROM drives

Dream as if you'll live Forever.
Live as if you'll die Tomorrow.
