There are USB capture cards. I have not seen one that has hardware
video compression. That function is then offloaded to a software tool
on the system. PCI capture cards _do_ have hardware compression.

The last one I got had digital tv tuner ability (a hauppague USB stick
- Microcenter - no longer carries it) but the analog capabilities were
not supported yet in Linux. It was too new.
