...for in car video, i set my father up with a "Sony HDR-CX110 HD Handycam" hooked up to a Traqmate video/data aquisition system and the system works GREAT...highly reccommend it. Camera auto starts & stops at track GPS start/finish line and is automatically synchronized with the lap data when imported with the traqstudio software...The camera records SD or HD .mpg files (interlaced) that can be easily moved form camera to laptop via MicroSD...

+1 for Sony Vegas...
it is a very robust and user friendly video editing authoring application. We do quite a bit of video editing and transcoding and my staff really prefers it to the many of the other applications available. Cost is very reasonable too.

i did check on that DigitalRapids card and i do have one, but it is HUGE and will require a substantial chassis to hold it. Not sure what kind of machine you have but you can check out the hardware requirements here...

8mm conversion
Here's another idea. Sony Digital8 camcorders will play the old analog 8mm tapes, convert them to digital real time, and output through the firewire port. I have digitized over 50 tapes, many of them analog. You might be able to find a working camera at a pawn shop or eBay for $100.
