I use EyeTV. You can play any video source thru the Mac and to 
capture any still just hit the hot key.

You can also capture live video by hitting another key.

It's a little more expensive than some shareware frame grabbers but 
what the hey, us Mac users are used to that. :)

It compresses the video and since it is already compressed you can 
burn a CD video from it....so I'm told.

So far I use it mostly for watching tv and delayed viewing but it 
really works as advertised.
