To make this as easy and as affordable as Possible I would First recomend you use a PC as the Mac Just doesn"t have Very Much available Editing Software ,and Capture Devices for the Mac are Expensive and rare....

Grab a USB capture device of some sort, or firewire if you don't mind the extra time encoding to mpeg-2, then get FfmpegX.

Plextor has a MAC mpeg hardware capture device. Perhaps you can find a Mac users forum that offers you some insight on it in addition to their website.

FfmpegX will do everything you need.
BTW, USB devices don't care if you're using a MAC or a PC.
