Video capture card. Captures in realtime, so be prepared to sit for a while. Have plenty of HD space, and a good digital video program. I use premier pro v7 for capture and rendering. It'll output to DIVX too. I use Roxio to create DVDs. It encodes in the MPEG2 stream you'll need. Golden MPEG2 stream. Audio Cassette to Cd? Get a good audio program (I use the one bundled with my MP3 Player. Creative Media something) and a Y cable. Patch the output from the cassette decks RCA outputs (Red and White) into the Aux In on your soundcard. VERY IMPORTANT-TURN THE SOUND DOWN on the cassette player. Too loud=distortion. Then make sure your recording mixer is set to aux in, not mic or mix. Press play, press record, and sit. Do this with every song. Once you have your WAV files (if you're going to CD, I wouldnt worry about MP3 or WMA encoding unless the program does it for you automatically) just arrange them into the order and burn to CD.

Audacity is a good program to do this with (for music), i do it with sound effects from games and whatnot, and the best part is, its free!
