As I mentioned the other day, I'm in the process of converting my old VHS collection into digital video files for easy storage. Fortunately I have a PCI TV tuner card that serves double duty as an analog video capture card. But if you're not so lucky, you might want to take a look at Plextor's ConvertX PX-AV200U.

Like earlier devices in the ConvertX line, the PX-AV200U lets you plug an analog video source like a camcorder or VCR into your computer and save your video as a digital file. But the PX-AV200U replaces the case that earlier converters came in with a tiny dongle form factor.
