2. I think I read on Doom9 somewhere that the Intensity Pro is designed primarily for HDMI capture, and the analogue capability is almost an "afterthought". Looking on their website I can't see any specs for what kind of comb filter is on the card. The X0 project used the PDI Deluxe, but  this card is quite old now.

Possibly the ideal would be to use a video scaler to convert the composite signal into component outputs (look on ebay, scalers are not as important in the digital age), and get a basic card that can capture component...

From this thread.

It's becoming more difficult to find reliable information on analogue capture cards these days, possibly because (1) people don't capture from analogue sources as often, and (2) when they do, they tend to just use a standalone DVD recorder.

I'm still using the old BT878a card I used for my laserdisc transfers back in the day, so I'd be interested to hear what you find out.
