Yes, such ADCs exist. And as in audio, quality varies. If a bootlegger were to want to copy DVD material, they usually don't use an ADC though. In that case, they normally rip the bits to the hard disc and re-encode for whatever the target format is. Video ADCs range from USB cables with poor resolution and bitrate, to PCI cards with anything from fair to good quality, to firewire boxes with DVD resolution and very high bitrates. There will always be quality loss, but done well it is quite acceptable to almost unnoticable.
