The best video to computer solution I've found so far is via DV
(either a DV camcorder or hardware video to DV encoder) to firewire.
I use much less CPU pulling in DV over firewire than from a capture
card.  I also drop quite a few frames with capture cards, and never
drop any with firewire.

I agree that Ogg Theora is a nice format.  There is a tool to convert
straight from DV to Theora from FFMPEG called ffmpeg2theora.  It may
convert from other formats, too.
