I've been using the ColorSpace II and ColorSpace FX cards.  They are 
manufactured by Mass Microsystems.  Specifically the ColorSpace II card 
will let you digitize a video image from a VCR or a video camera.  It 
comes with a desk accessory to let you accomplish this task.  The 
ColorSpace FX card lets you display a real-time video image on your 
Macintosh screen.  It will place the image in a window (and can also be 
controlled by HyperCard), or will overlay the image over a color of your 
choosing.  

These are nubus cards, and thus you must put them in a Mac II system.  
I've had mine for a couple of months now, and am quite happy with them.

Note - I have no financial stake or interest in Mass Microsystems.
