To answer your other question, internal capture cards tend to give better results as you can capture in full range RGB using a 'lossless' codec.

What this means in simple terms is that instead of an external box compressing the video into 'blocks' and throwing away three quarters of the colour resolution, an internal card lets you keep all of that information and then you can compress it yourself with a lot more control when making a DVD of it or whatever.
