If you are just trying to capture a raw SD video why not something from the likes of Canopus, Elgato or Blackmagic?
Pinnacle Micro, ATI and Hauppauge are kinda shitty. Mainly consumer products and 480i at 30fps uncompressed is hard to push over USB 2.0, hence why for quite a while the professional end still used firewire until flash recording became popular, or USB 3.

Canopus ADVC's are still on the cheaper end and lack internal TBC but they are considerably better. Supposedly Startech has good products as well but I can't vouch for them.

Edited: Stupid me didn't see the link at the bottom of the post. Yes that Blackmagic pod will work fine but IMHO I like to work with as little compression as possible prior to the final render (to a modern compression standard like h.265, or again none at all if the output is part of a larger project) because once its added it's a lot of manual work to restore the video.
