well it is just simple ordinary normal capture-cards like pinnacle's or 
hauppauge (they used to be based on the "brooktree 848" (or 
alternatively 878) (now "connexant") chipset.
on linux they are supported with the bttv chipset and are most common.

yes that is the problem.
i just haven't found a good external capture-card  yet (but i admit, i 
haven't searched a lot after i bought this pinnacle-crap)

i would rather test with Gem if you do tests and you want to run it with 
Gem ;-)
(i mean, i guess you have both Gem and premiere installed on your 
laptop; so try out both if you get the opportunity to do so)

yes; although a/d-converter is such a weird word for a capture-card 
(although is is of course an adc)
