Video capture like from a TV/VCR, or DV from a camcorder?

Never gonna happen.  USB has too much latency to be anything more
than a cheap hack (when regards to video).  Firewire is designed 
for this kind of streaming lots of data with very low latency, so 
that's what people like the developer of kino are using.

For stand-alone connect-the-TV-to-the-PC situations, the Hauppauge
PVR-150 is what you are looking for.  They even mention Linux under
3rd Party Applications support.
