[ale] Capture "devices" ?

[Robert L. Harris]

  I'm looking to pickup a capture card/device on the way home today.
While scouting CompUSA for parts the other day I found a cute little USB
booger that looked like just wires going to a usb port, no "card" which
would work very well for me as my USB ports are on the front and
plugging in different cams, webcams, etc will be a real pain on my
system right now.

  It lists Win98 compatable but I'm running 2k/Debian Unstable on my
desktop.  Has anyone seen this thing?

  Any other suggestions that are relatively cheap?  I'd like to convert
home movies of the kidlets to mpeg that I can send to the grandparrents
as well as run a web cam off it.
