What is the best way for me to capture video supposing that I don't have a capture card and I can't play DVD's on my computer? Is there anything I can do?

nope, not really...unless you have a friend that has a dvd drive in their computer.
dvd drives are cheap, you can pick one up for the price of a dvd (or even less)

There's also some pretty cheap devices that allow you to hook up a DVD player or game console with the proper video cable. And then, in turn plugs into a USB port. They tend to be pretty poor quality though, and really only useful for actual video capture from a non-DVD source. If your gonna pull source clips from a DVD, just get a drive. It'll save you money and provide a better quality video source. Internals are cheaper and generally faster, but externals are easy to hook up. Good luck.

The difference between ripping and capturing is like the difference between the Hope diamond and a turd. Never capture unless you need to; only rip.
