Even EASIER than a card with s-video or composite connections is an A/D
converter. (A/D = "Analog to Digital").  This is a little box that sits
outside of your computer, accepts an analog video signal, and then sends it
out via firewire. 
 
This option is preferred because a.) you don't have to futz around with
hardware in your computer, b.) it requires no 3rd party drivers which
otherwise tend to reduce Premiere's stability, c.) everything ends up in the
DV format so it uses your existing firewire port and Premiere sees it as
regular DV video which is what Premiere edits best with, d.) no rendering
required since its the standard DV format that matches the DV project
settings. 
 
You can't go wrong with an A/D converter. Canopus makes some GREAT ones.

That works for a digital video camera or with some
external digitizer unit. Simpler for analog source
to have a card that an S-Video cable or component
cables can be plugged into.
