Well your System is Not at all Ideal for what you want to do...Video files take up huge ammounts of Space and 30 GB will barely hold an Hour of Video in the Highest quality pluss you should Be captureing to a seperate Dedicated Large Hard Drive ,Generally 80gb is good starting amount if you have a lot of video to transfer and it should be a Fast drive at least ATA/100 at 7200RPM ,I have 280gb with over 200gb reserved For Video Capture..As For Video capture Devices the Best one for captureing from old Analogue Tapes would be something like the Canopus ADVC-100 which runs about $250 ,a good Cheaper solution would be to get a Simple PCI TV Card ,But one of the newer ones that have a 10 Bit decoder chip like the MSI TV @nywere or the Pixelview play TV, these cards Run about $70 ,..Most External USB Devices aren"t very good yet and Most stuff you find at a Computer store or BestBuy won"t be very High Quality..For capture software it would depend on what type of Capture device you have.Most of the better Companies have retailers on line that sell there devices you can get some good deals on ebay also.......Cheers
PS:Another problem you are going to have is that Win98SE uses a fat 32 file system that has a File size limit of 4gb and most captured Movies will be Much larger than that so if you Plan on Captureing Video you should upgrade to Win2000 ,WinNT or WinXP as these systems support NTSF which does not have a File size limitation....
