Video Capture on Vista

It's been a long time since I've been able to record Lets Play videos at home for my YouTube channel. Most of the problems being because of my old computer dying (an XP computer with an ATI AIW video card). The computer I got last year to replace it was a Vista machine with an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT.
What I miss the most of the software that came with the AIW card was the flexability of the recording software, being able to adjust everything from the bitrate to the codecs to audio-recording devices. However I found that the only compatable software that came with the Vista computer was Windows Media Center (hardly suitable to my needs). Also the software used on the XP computer is not compatable with Vista and ATI seems to have no intention on making it so.
I also recently got a laptop, which with a bit of thought I wouldn't mind doing videos with instead (as then I can use it in my art room with it's own gaming setup. It's smaller so there wouldn't be as much sound distortion as my living room would have). Naturally this would require a USB device as opposed to using the onboard video-recording hardware the two desktops have.
So to shorten the above explaination, I need a decent USB device for recording video which will allow me to use any codecs of my choice and will allow me to record sound from either the microphone (for live LPs) or from the RCA cables themselves (for snagging fotage with sound). I had previously bought a Diamond One-Touch TV to DVD recording device, but I couldn't get the device to recognize it's own RCA audio inputs and it wouldn't let me choose my own codec. I was thinking of sending it back (I have a few more days before I lose a full return) but if someone could perhaps point me to a suitable software replacement that would work as well.
(Also, worse to worse, I still have the XP install disc from my old computer. Would it really be worth the hassle of dual-booting the Vista desktop and see if I can use ATI's recording software there instead?)
