I too think that a firewire interface connected to a DV-capable camcorder would be a reasonable alternative. ffmpeg has good support for DV; you could easily transcode into something more compact for storage, and give the user options for managing the tradeoff between quality and duration. If not with a laptop, you could almost certainly find motherboards with firewire interfaces onboard. Google has lots more suggestions: http://www.google.com/search?q=itx+motherboard+1394 If you really really need composite in, I'm sure Google can advise on that too. I see some at http://www.lex.com.tw/, but their site insane, and gives my browser cringe.
