I'm new to this NLE thing so I'm no authority, but the reading I've done suggests (in fairly certain terms) that USB is a sucky way to go about capturing video; especially USB 1.1 (data thruput too slow) - USB 2.0 is better/faster, but if the software/system doesn't support it.....

Ya'll might want to consider investing a few quid in a dedicated capture card that has RCA/SVideo inputs. I purchased an ADSTech PCI capture card (native format is AVI) from TigerDirect for about $20USD, and the MPegPro plugin for Premiere Pro 1.5 recognises the card & captures my VHS (gack!) video quite nicely with no major software-configuration acrobatics required.
