I'm lookin' now for a capture card than can capture at atleast a resolution of '720x480', without losing any quality, or little to none.
Price is not much of an issue here so all references are appreciated, also all helpful responses are aswell appreciated.

Firewire's nice, but I don't think that helps A.Z. Firewire is just a cable/protocol for transferring data. You still need a digitizing device.
A.Z., take a look on the Hardware page at the reviews for the Sony Media Converter and the Dazzle DV Bridge. You can also use a camcorder that has a Firewire (aka IEEE-1394 or iLink) port and a video-input jack. You need the latter so you can transfer from the DVD to tape, and you'll probably need something to get around Macrovision, too.
The DV500-DVD will do the same without Firewire or an external converter if you use a PC. I suppose the Targa 3000 will, too; don't know much about that card.
These are all DV solutions. The other 720x480 codecs (MPEG2 and SVCD) are not really suitable for editing.

targa 3000 is difficult to top. . . but since quu is busy, i'll elaborate on his behalf 
the targa 3000 is a complete editing solution. It is a rack sized expansion card (translation, as long as your pc is.)
Its only supported by nt and 2k. it captures using hardware DV compression and dv25(whupass), hardware mpeg2(using 4:2:2) compression, and uncompressed in both RGB(with alpha) and YUV.
it also has balnced XLR audio connections and is a pretty good sound board, but also has digital.
it supports real-time eiditing effects, no rendering, for 3 layers in compressed video.
this burys the needle in most content creation, especially if authoring DVDs because of its mpeg2 power, which included uncompressed audio for mastering.
