Probably nVidia, with normal 15 pin SVGA type output. What are my
options for $200 or less? Something better than my on board GeForce
6100. With enough functionality to capture old VHS tapes onto the
computer. And linux compatible of course.

Some ati all-in-wonder cards might be supported, but I personally would use a
dedicated capture card. If you're going to be burning DVDs, get one
with mpeg2 hardware compression such as the hauppauge pvr150. Otherwise,
I like the plextor convertx usb capture devices which employ mpeg4 (divx)
hardware compression.
