That depends on your input device. Some are DV only, some could encode into MPEG-4 or divx also.

What I use is a cheap DVD recorder from Panasonic. Its great, and I don't have to worry about anyone steeling an expensive laptop. A PVR would be a better solution, because you wouldn't have to worry about the switching the DVDs.

If you are looking for a good input device for your laptop you can check out El Gato's Hybrid or the 250 +. Both can encode a lot of video without using a lot of disk space.
