I use the ATI products. They offer more output sizes then other cards I have seen. They arent high powered or high priced like the Matrox products. Keep in mind Matrox has its applications but its better for high end work, not little video clips on the web.
I make mpegs from DVDs I own the rights to. Its 10x faster than capturing and the quality is 10x better too. Unless your DVD is made by a major motion picture company you probably do not need to rip it. All you need to do is drag the vob files from the DVD to your hard drive. Once thats done you need a vob editor. Look around google.. youll find a few free ones. You can use DVD2AVI and even get crafty using frame serving to automate the video editing process. I think there is also a DVD2MPG utility.
As far as editing goes I found a program at

Good luck
